Malpractice lawsuits arise when a professional individual or organization makes a serious error in the services they provide and, as a result, a patient or client suffers financial or physical harm.

Generally malpractice claims or lawsuits are made against licensed professionals such as lawyers, health care providers (doctors, nurses, dentists and chiropractors) and the companies or organizations that they work for. In order to make a malpractice claim, you must show that the action causing the error falls below a certain "normal" level of care and that as a result you suffered an injury because of that failure.
