Why Is It So Hard To Win a Legal Malpractice Case?

Malpractice cases are notoriously tough to litigate. That’s because the plaintiff in a malpractice case must prove a case within a case. Specifically, the plaintiff must prove not only that the lawyer’s conduct was substandard, but the plaintiff must also prove that “but for” the lawyer’s error, the plaintiff would have won the case in which the lawyer represented him.

Due to these tough odds, many plaintiffs never pursue malpractice claims against their former attorneys. Perhaps they fear that the deck is stacked against them?
