Fighting for Plaintiffs in Professional Malpractice Claims
All professionals, including attorneys, engineers, and accountants, have a duty to serve their clients with the appropriate level of skill and competence. When professionals fail to meet that duty, they can be held accountable for the losses they’ve caused their clients or patients to sustain.
At Stanfield Bechtel Law, we know how to effectively advocate for clients who have suffered injuries due to legal and other types of professional malpractice. We will work with you to craft a persuasive, effective legal strategy to pursue the best outcome possible in your case including seeking damages to cover your losses.
Legal Malpractice
Sometimes in life, you need to hire an attorney. When you do, you should be able to rely on your attorney to act within the standard of care. If your attorney fails to handle your matter competently, and you are damaged as a result, you may have a claim for legal malpractice.
Personal Injury
In seconds, a personal injury accident can cause severe injuries or even death. It can mean medical bills, lost wages, and permanent impairment to you. We at Stanfield Bechtel Law collectively have over 40 years of experience in fighting for victims of personal injury accidents.
Representing Plaintiffs Bringing Legal Malpractice Claims
When an attorney does not represent a client with the appropriate standard of care or performs his or her duties negligently, the client can suffer serious consequences that may have a detrimental impact on their case. For example, when an attorney fails to file a case on time and misses a statute of limitations, the client could lose their ability to bring the case and fail to recover the compensation he or she needs or deserves.
When an attorney engages in legal malpractice, the affected client can hold the lawyer accountable through a legal malpractice lawsuit. At Stanfield Bechtel Law, we fight for clients who have suffered damages caused by their attorney’s malpractice. We represent clients in a wide range of legal malpractice cases. Some of the most common examples of negligence that can support a malpractice claim include:
- Naming the wrong person or party in a lawsuit
- Failing to file a complaint within the applicable statute of limitations
- Representing someone despite a conflict of interest
- Missing deadlines
- Failing to appear in court or other hearings
- Incompetent representation
- Failing to provide proper legal advice
- Breaching a fiduciary duty
The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Malpractice Attorney
When you retain Stanfield Bechtel Law to handle your legal or professional malpractice claim, we immediately get to work by thoroughly investigating your case and gathering evidence showing that you’ve been harmed by the professional’s malpractice. This includes understanding the nature of the losses you have suffered and determining a dollar figure that will fairly compensate you.
Proving professional malpractice cases can be challenging; many professionals have professional malpractice insurance. When a client, patient, or customer sues the professional, the insurance provider will pay to defend the professional against the claim. Hiring your attorney as soon as possible helps level the playing field. Our team has extensive experience negotiating with insurance companies and we will handle every step of your case, helping you make informed decisions and negotiate the full compensation you deserve.
