Everyone makes mistakes, even attorneys. We are someone asked what can a person due when their attorney makes a mistake so critical that it costs them in losing thir claim against another party. In such a case, an attorney can be sued for legal malpractice.
Consider the case of a client that was blinded in his right eye by a high pressure hose at work. The nozzle on the high pressure handle broke, flinging the coupling towards his face and blinding him in one eye. He hired a local lawyer who missed the statute of limitations. A settlement was reached with the insurance carrier for the lawyer.
Austin Mehr Law Offices represented claimants in the following types of legal malpractice claims:
- Missed statute of limitation on a defective product.
- Missed statute of limitation in a medical malpractice case.
- Missed statute of limitations in an automobile case.
- Missed statute of limitation in a worker's compensation case (verdict rendered Laurel Circuit Court) in the amount of $51,549.95.
