Legal Malpractice

What Is Legal Malpractice?

Legal malpractice in Connecticut is the term for negligence by an attorney that causes harm to a client.

A person making a legal malpractice claim must prove that the attorney’s acts were not merely the result of poor strategy, but that they were the result of errors that no reasonably prudent attorney would make.

A drunk driver caused your car wreck. Was the driver drinking at a bar? That bar may be responsible for damages of up to $250,000 if they negligently served the person who hit you alcohol. They may be liable for more if the service was reckless. A lawyer must give notice within 120 days of the date of the injury. In the case of a death or incapacity, notice must be filed within 180 days. If notice is not filed, a claim cannot be made against the bar for damages.
