Legal malpractice is a significant problem.
(Statistics and information taken from Legal
Malpractice 4th ed. Mallen and Smith. 1996. Vol. 1, Section 1.6)
Common sense dictates that as the population of lawyers grows, the
number of legal malpractice cases will also increase at the same
rate. Surprisingly, statistics indicate that the number of legal
malpractice cases is increasing at a rate greater than the growth of
the legal industry. Possible reasons for this discrepancy include
increased consumerism, higher client expectations, better educated
clients, the need for more specialized legal skills, and the growth
in similar fields of litigation.
The two leading areas where claims are made of legal malpractice are
Personal Injury (Plaintiff) and Real Estate. Over half the claims
alleged an error in litigation. Strikingly significant is the fact
that the largest majority of legal malpractice claims are alleged
against lawyers with over 10 years experience.
