Lawyers Really Screw Up – Missing Deadlines

Almost 20% of malpractice claims against lawyers are because they blew a deadline, otherwise known as a statute of limitation. A statute of limitation is a law that provides for a time period that, once past, forever bars someone from pursuing a particular legal claim. Missing a statute of limitation can compromise a client’s entire case and lead to serious legal and financial consequences.

If you’ve been victimized by the negligence or incompetence of a lawyer who wasted time suing the wrong defendant, or filed the wrong claim, we can help. Our legal malpractice attorneys hold other lawyers accountable because many of these attorney errors could have been avoided. These mistakes cost clients money and are frequently grounds for a legal malpractice action. In this day and age of computers and sophisticated diary programs lawyers should not be missing deadlines but when they do, we can help by filing a legal malpractice lawsuit against your former attorney.
