Professional Malpractice Law - Defendants Attorneys

Understanding Professional Malpractice Defense

Professional malpractice claims arise when a healthcare professional, consultant, or licensed expert is accused of negligence or errors in their professional judgment or services, leading to harm or damages to a client or patient. These claims can significantly impact an individual’s career, finances, and reputation. Successfully defending against a professional malpractice lawsuit requires specialized knowledge of the relevant regulations, ethical standards, and legal precedents within the specific profession.

What Constitutes Professional Malpractice? The core of a professional malpractice claim centers around the concept of a breach of duty. This typically involves demonstrating that the defendant failed to meet the standard of care expected of a reasonably competent professional within their field. This ‘standard of care’ is often defined by industry best practices, established protocols, and the specific requirements of licensing boards.
