Professional Malpractice Attorneys in Illinois

People regularly rely on professionals to provide services that they cannot perform themselves. Unfortunately, when these professionals do not meet the proper standards in the work they perform, their clients can suffer significant financial losses or other consequences. If you believe you have been the victim of professional malpractice, you may have legal options for addressing this issue and pursuing compensation for your losses or other ways you have been affected. An experienced attorney can help you assess your situation and work with you to seek the compensation you deserve.

Navigating professional negligence or medical malpractice cases can be difficult, and it is essential to have an attorney who is knowledgeable in this field to ensure the best chances for a favorable outcome. At Dickler, Kahn, Slowikowski & Zavell, Ltd., our attorneys understand the complexities involved in these cases and the unique challenges that can arise when pursuing professional malpractice claims. We can help guide you through the legal process and ensure that you will be properly compensated for the harm you have suffered due to the incompetent or substandard services you received.

Legal Help With Different Types of Cases Involving Professional Liability

In a professional malpractice case, a person can pursue compensation for losses or damages they experienced because a professional failed to meet the standards of their profession. Our attorneys can assist with cases involving:

• Medical malpractice - Patients who do not receive the proper medical care from doctors, nurses, surgeons, hospitals, or pharmacists may suffer serious injuries or other forms of harm. If a person can show that they suffered harm because a medical professional failed to take the actions that a reasonable, competent person would have taken in the same situation, they may be compensated for their damages.
• Legal malpractice - When an attorney fails to adhere to professional standards, their client can suffer significantly. An attorney who makes mistakes in legal proceedings or fails to represent their client competently may be held liable for the losses incurred as a result of their negligence.
• Accounting errors or financial mismanagement - Mistakes made by accountants can cost their clients a great deal of money. People who suffer losses due to issues such as auditing errors, calculation errors, or failure to report information correctly when filing taxes may pursue compensation from accountants who did not meet the standards of their profession. Those who suffer losses because of illegal actions by stockbrokers or investment advisors may pursue compensation based on issues such as fraud, insider trading, or conflicts of interest.
• Real estate broker malpractice - When real estate agents or brokers make errors or fail to act in their client's best interests, this can result in significant financial losses, especially for clients who are involved in commercial real estate transactions or development projects. In these cases, brokers may be held accountable for the financial harm caused to a client.
• Incompetent professional services - When service providers such as engineers, architects, or contractors make errors in the work they do for a client, this may result in major safety issues that could affect multiple people. When these issues lead to property liability cases, or when a client experiences losses due to the need to hire new service providers, the client may be able to take legal action to address professional malpractice.
