GCL is experienced in litigating professional malpractice cases. One of the most important and difficult tasks is to help our clients determine at the outset whether or not malpractice has occurred. Our attorneys can help investigate whether someone has been injured as a result of the negligence or misconduct of individuals in the legal, medical and health care professions. If significant harm has resulted from the negligence of a professional, our firm is well equipped to litigate the case in order to maximize the compensation the injured person is entitled to receive.

Two common types of professional malpractice are:

Medical Malpractice - Physicians, surgeons, medical technicians, nurses, and other health care professionals owe a duty to their patients that is based on a recognized standard of care. Medical malpractice claims typically involve the negligent breach of the applicable standard of care and often involve negligent treatment or the failure to diagnose existing injuries or conditions that result in serious injuries, illness, disease, or suffering that may could have been avoided or prevented. Medical malpractice claims can involve serious injuries at all levels of the health care spectrum, from birth injuries and defects to heart attacks or elderly abuse. Our firm can help clients determine whether or not medical malpractice has occurred when you or someone you love is injured as a result of the negligence or misconduct of individuals in the medical field.

Legal Malpractice - Legal malpractice is defined as negligence, professional misconduct, or the failure to exercise a reasonable level of skill that results in injury, loss, or damages to a client. Our firm represents individual and business clients in legal malpractice claims against attorneys who fail to exercise ordinary skill, judgment, and diligence in the course of providing legal services to their clients.
