NEGLIGENCE
Professional Negligence and Malpractice
When the advice or service of a professional causes harm
Whenever you seek the services or advice of any kind of professional, whether from medical doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, accountants, architects, and even nursing home or assisted living care facilities, you are relying on these professionals to provide you with best practice advice and to take care of the matter you have entrusted to them. When the profession’s prescribed standard of care is not adhered to by the professional, very serious injury and damages can occur. If you or a loved one has been injured physically or monetarily under these circumstances, the lawyers at DeMent Askew & Johnson can help.
The consequences of professional negligence, also known as malpractice, can be serious. Damages, the legal term for many kinds of loss, from professional negligence might include acute and ongoing financial losses, physical injury and suffering, medical expense, damage to property, and can even result in the loss of life. If you have suffered damages due to the negligence of a professional whose services you’ve retained, you may be entitled to recover damages and be made whole for all your losses. We are professional negligence lawyers. We can evaluate your malpractice matter and provide the kind of guidance you need to navigate complex questions surrounding whether the standard of care has been met in your particular and unique situation. At DeMent Askew & Johnson, we have been representing clients in professional negligence cases for over 40 years.
