What Are the Most Common Mistakes in Legal Malpractice ?

By (Andrew Lavoott Bluestone)

ADVERTISEMENTS

Wisconsin legal malpractice insurers have published a breakdown of legal malpractice claims.  Here, reported by Bonnie Shucha in the University of Wisconsin blog, are the most commonly sued for mistakes:

Calendaring - 23%

Failure to know or properly apply law - 14%

Planning error in choice of procedures - 13%

Inadequate discovery & investigation - 12%

Failure to obtain consent/inform client - 6%

Why calendaring?  It is the easiest to see.  Calendaring mistakes lead to dismissals for failure to appear, which is sublimely easy to comprehend and explain to a judge/jury.
