Professionals are expected to exercise a reasonable degree of skill and care during the execution of their work. When they fail, or are alleged to have failed, clients may file a claim for compensation.

That's where we come in. At the Bennett Law Firm, malpractice and professional negligence are two of our core practice areas, legal specialities we are pleased to offer clients who may be facing allegations, or who are interested in learning what they need to protect themselves from future claims.

The reality today is that even the most talented and dedicated professionals can find themselves in court, defending charges of professional negligence. Professionals from virtually all fields including engineers, auditors, doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, accountants, lawyers, management consultants, actuaries, investment advisors and architects are at risk. Accusations, however frivolous, tax a company's precious time, resources, patience and their bottom line.

Our firm's lawyers have particular expertise defending others in our field, including Maine lawyers, accused of errors or omissions during their dealings with clients or firms involved with billing disputes. We have the experience and knowledge that comes from handling complex, high-stakes cases involving a large volume of documents and many issues in dispute.

Health care professionals are also particularly vulnerable to accusations of professional negligence associated with their actions or inactions. These charges may include allegations related to negligent patient monitoring, late diagnosis, the performance of unnecessary surgery, improper diagnosis or treatment, the incorrect administration of anesthesia or other medications, the implantation of a non-approved medical device, or the failure to obtain informed consent for a medical procedure.

At The Bennett Law Firm, we'll work with you to strategize and develop policies and procedures that will keep you and your firm out of court and free from unnecessary and unwarranted claims. We'll help you understand the laws and legal risks you take each day. If you are confronted with a problem involving professional negligence, we will work to resolve it in the way that is most sensible and economically viable. Your privacy and your reputation will be preserved at all times.

We are dedicated to standing alongside our clients and committed to providing prompt, quality client service delivered cost effectively. Our strategy is to help clients understand and avoid professional negligence or liability proceedings and to expeditiously address and defend allegations should they occur.
