In many Connecticut legal malpractice actions, the term “case within a case” arises. It typically comes up in legal malpractice cases involving a prior law suit. Basically, a "case within a case" refers to situations where a plaintiff-client claims, that due to their lawyer’s malpractice, they have completely lost their right to recover monetary damages or have recovered much less than they were entitled to because of their lawyer's screw up.
Normally, for a plaintiff-client to show that they suffered damages as a result of their lawyer’s error, they most prove that, but for the laywer's mistake, they would have won the case or at least recovered greater damages. This is the type of thing that we can help clients with.
