Lawyer Negligence

Was the lawyer negligent? There are many different types of legal malpractice, but the most common form of legal malpractice is negligence. The fact of the matter is that a lawyer's carelessness can cause a case to settle for much less than it could have, or even worse, lose the case and settlement.

A negligent lawyer is a lawyer that neglects to comply with his or her professional duties and therefore causes bad results in their client's case. A negligent lawyer might also simply brush the client off after stringing the person along and wasting their time and  money and causing the client financial hardships.

Other examples of a negligent lawyer include the following:

• Unprepared for court trial
• Failure to file the lawsuit within the required time under law
• Does not follow court orders
• Fails to meet other important deadlines

This does not mean that any lawyer who loses a case can be accused of legal malpractice.  The end result of a case can be unpredictable at times. When one is seeking the legal  assistance of an attorney, that person should not have to settle for anything less than a  qualified and competent attorney.

Simply put, when a lawyer is unprofessional, unmotivated and negligent and these factors cause a case to be lost, that lawyer has  committed legal malpractice.
