Professional malpractice occurs when a licensed professional fails to perform their duties to the recognized standard of care, causing harm or loss to another party. The specifics can vary depending on the profession involved.

The duration of a malpractice case varies based on complexity, the amount of evidence needed, and the willingness of parties to settle. Some cases resolve in months, while others may take years if trial is necessary.
Early consultation and proactive case management can help streamline the process and reduce delays, but each case is unique and unpredictable.
