Professional Liability

Professional liability claims arise when a client believes that a professional has failed to perform their duties to the expected standard, resulting in financial loss or harm. The most prevalent types of professional liability claims include negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, and errors and omissions. These claims are commonly seen in professions such as medicine, law, and accounting, where the potential for significant impact on clients' lives necessitates a high level of diligence and competency.

Professional Liability Defenses

Defenses against professional liability claims can vary based on the specific circumstances of each case. Common defenses include demonstrating adherence to the standard of care expected in the profession, showing that the alleged harm was not a direct result of the professional's actions, and arguing that the client did not follow recommendations or failed to mitigate their own damages. By employing these strategies, professionals can protect their reputations and mitigate potential financial repercussions.
