Calgary Legal
Malpractice Lawyer
Committed to Addressing the Consequences of Legal Malpractice and Upholding Justice
Let Carruthers Law mitigate the impacts of legal malpractice.
The impact of lawyer negligence can result in the lack of compensation for representation and critically jeopardize your claim. After having gone through months of litigation, you may find yourself insufficiently compensated if you are compensated at all. If you find yourself in a dispute against other parties, a lawyer’s failure to meet a claim deadline can leave you without any legal course of action against them.
Common types of lawyer malpractice:
Ethical breaches
- Overcharging for services
- Settling claims without clients' consent
- Misusing of clients' money
Mishandling lawsuits
- Failing to file within the window of opportunity (limitation periods)
- Failing to advance a claim in a timely manner
- Failing to review or present evidence crucial to prove clients’ claim
Failures of communications
- Failure to communicate settlement offers
- Communicating misleading updates on clients' claim
- Failure to notify clients of essential filing deadlines or court dates
