Our Pack Has Your Back
People often have issues or concerns they just cannot deal with on their own. If they are sick or injured, they visit a doctor. If they have pressing legal issues, they contact a lawyer. When it is time to do their taxes, they hire an accountant. These are just a few of the ways professionals are entrusted to help people with important issues in their lives. These professionals are there to help, and they must do so to the best of their ability, often while following strict regulations.
Sometimes professionals do not work in the best interests of those they are trying to help. When that is the case, a person can suffer physically, mentally, and financially. Victims may think they have no recourse, but they do. A professional malpractice lawyer in Ohio can help make things right. An attorney can help with the many different types of professional malpractice that take place far too often, so those affected can move on with their lives.
Wolf Lawyers handle professional malpractice cases involving:
- Doctors
- Attorneys
- Stock Brokers
- Dentists
- Accountants
FINRA Claims
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) claims are made when investors wish to dispute an issue with their securities advisor. These claims often go through arbitration rather than litigation, with arbitration actually limiting the ability of someone to litigate the claim. While arbitration is less complex than litigation, anyone wishing to bring a claim should still enlist legal representation that can help them throughout the process. The most common FINRA claims include:
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Negligence
- Misrepresentation
- Failure to supervise
- Breach of contract
- Omission of facts
Have A Malpractice Claim? Speak To A Professional Malpractice Attorney.
When people seek the advice of a professional, they should be able to trust that professional will work in their best interests. When they fail to do so and an individual suffers damages due to that malpractice, an Akron professional malpractice lawyer can help that person file a claim against the professional.
Holding Medical Professionals Responsible
When you visit your doctor, you trust that they will care for you. You never expect to have lasting damage from something that is supposed to make you feel better. However, there are times when medical professionals fail to act as they should or act in a reckless or negligent way that causes you harm.
You have the right to seek compensation for your injuries when this happens. Wolf Lawyers have helped clients in Akron hold medical professionals responsible for failing their duties. We will work with you to determine what went wrong and file a claim.
Medical Malpractice Has Serious Consequences
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other medical professional acts in a manner that deviates from the established standard of care within the medical community.
Some of the most common forms of medical malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis
- Delayed diagnosis
- Failure to treat or diagnose
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries
- Defective medical equipment
- Hospital errors
- Medication errors
These errors can cause serious injuries or even fatalities in some circumstances. You may have to miss work for recovery, pay off expensive medical bills, and spend your time seeing even more doctors for rehabilitation.
Legal Malpractice: When Attorneys Break The Rules
When you choose an attorney, trust is a big consideration. When that attorney breaks your trust and makes a major error, the impact can be devastating financially.
Everyone makes mistakes at work, but when your attorney causes you to lose your case or get less than you deserve, you have options to obtain compensation. Wolf Lawyers have helped clients in Akron prove that the outcome of their case would have turned out differently had their previous attorney not acted negligently.
Don’t Pay The Price For A Bad Lawyer
Attorneys have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of their clients. When they fail to do so, individuals can lose out on large settlements or otherwise become injured. Most legal malpractice cases cause the client to suffer financially.
Some common types of legal malpractice include:
- Failing to diligently pursue a case, resulting in its dismissal
- Theft from an estate
- Failure to provide expert reports or expert witness testimony
- Conflicts of interest that result in low settlements
- Improperly drafting agreements that result in a lost case
- Failing to use adequate discovery
- Dropping a case just before the statute of limitations runs out
- Forcing one to settle due to lack of trial experience
Most attorneys are ethical, professional and competent. However, like in any profession, there will be some bad actors or attorneys who act negligently. You shouldn’t have to accept those results. Legal malpractice claims in Ohio have a one-year statute of limitations, meaning that you have one year from the date of the incident to file a claim. The sooner you get started with an experienced malpractice attorney, the better for your case.
