You may be unfamiliar with the specifics of "legal malpractice" as it pertains to your profession. Legal malpractice cases can include performing or failing to perform services of a professional nature, as well as errors arising out of such performance issues. For example, a veterinarian who improperly performs a surgery on a beloved pet that results in the death of that pets, can be held liable for both the improperly performed surgery and the death of the pet. Be sure to check with us to help you clearly understand your professional status, and your liability risks.

In addition, our experience also encompasses proceedings involving corporate directors and officers, as well as professional partnerships. In the case of director liability, where a corporation's director or directors become liable for the actions they or their employees take, the director(s) need to be well represented. In most corporate settings, director liability means that directors are responsible for the operations of the business, regardless of whether or not they knew what was happening. For example, if an employee performs an illegal action on behalf of the company, the director(s) of the company can be held liable for any actions caused by the employee.

Our attorneys have litigated literally thousands of insurance coverage cases involving professional errors and omissions. These types of cases have included Insurance policy claims provisions, reporting requirements, professional services definitions, and damages issued.

Whether you need help with a legal malpractice case, or a case involving director liability, be sure to contact the lawyers at Cotkin & Collins. We understand the intricacies of the law, and understand what is required to help you settle your case quickly and equitably.
