When I am not suing or otherwise representing attorneys in attorney liability matters, this firm is otherwise actively engaged in other forms of consumer protection (specifically including, civil rights and consumer fraud). In thinking about this newest column on attorney liabilities, I reflected on the overlap that gave rise to this firm’s consumer-related practice areas—as those matters are defended. While this firm’s practice principally surrounds financial injury, we have both prosecuted and defended personal injury matters including medical malpractice matters—which is to say another form of professional liability giving rise to individual loss.
While our clientele generally arises from a common grievance (i.e., financial loss), we cannot help but notice what appears as multidiscipline practice areas encounter common themes of defense. That is, contrary to their popular complaints, professionals acting within the scope of their employment are generally held to a lower standard of care than nonprofessionals (in similar claimed tort disputes).
