Professional Malpractice Attorneys in New York

Professional malpractice involves the liability of individuals in professions where clients are owed a specific legal duty. Issues of professional malpractice can arise with attorneys, accountants, physicians, law firms, brokers, real estate agents, and other licensed professionals who fail to meet their standards of professional competence. A professional who does not fulfill their obligations and apply their education and training in a competent and ethical manner can face serious consequences.

Medical Malpractice

Physicians, nurses, and even hospital administrators have a professional obligation to their employees and patients. Medical malpractice in New York occurs when a doctor or a member of their office acts negligently or incompetently, resulting in harm to the patient. An experienced attorney is essential in malpractice cases to navigate the varying standards of care applicable to each patient or entity involved in the patient’s care. Medical malpractice lawsuits often require expert witnesses who can explain the medical condition, appropriate treatment, and assess whether the care provided met the legal standard.

Legal Malpractice

Legal malpractice can range from simple tasks, such as failures to meet statute of limitations, to complex business transactions involving failed mergers of major corporations. The duties that lawyers owe their clients are complicated and multifaceted. An attorney with a thorough understanding of the New York Bar Association’s Code is essential. Pulvers, Pulvers & Thompson L.L.P. can identify all the issues and determine what the attorney could have or should have done differently.

Accountant Malpractice

Like attorneys, accountants are also certified by third-party entities responsible for ensuring that the accountants meet certain standards.

Certified Public Accountants give important opinions which are relied upon in a variety of contexts. Their work is relied upon during tax assessments, municipal budget statements, stock evaluations and bankruptcy proceedings.

When accountants fail to exercise professional responsibilities they can be sued for negligence.

Realtor Malpractice

Real estate professionals are often sued for their involvement in transactions that go awry or fall apart. In certain cases, if the homeowner fails to disclose defects about a property prior to sale, the buyer can sue the realtor.
