Professional negligence or malpractice occurs when an individual fails to meet accepted performance standards in his or her profession and causes harm to a client. You have a right to rely on the skill and professionalism of those you hire to care for your health, your finances, and your legal matters. It is important to remember, though, that a negative outcome is not, in and of itself, evidence of malpractice. Often, extensive investigation is needed to determine whether malpractice occurred. Additionally, laws related to professional negligence can limit and place strict time limitations on the filing of claims.
