Legal Malpractice An example would be an inadequate settlement in an automobile accident case. If the case was clear liability such as a rear-ender and there was a traumatic brain injury the case should not have settled for $25,000.00. To pursue a legal malpractice case in Atlanta, your Georgia attorney will have to obtain the affidavit of an expert, which establishes that the defendants handling of your case was below the standard for attorneys. These cases are generally expensive, and therefore, attorneys cannot pursue legal malpractice cases unless the damages are in the six figures. Most legal malpractice cases require litigation, and these cases are generally not settled without a lawsuit being filed. If you have been a victim of legal malpractice you have four years in Georgia to file a lawsuit. However, it is best to have your case evaluated while the witnesses are available, and the evidence can be filed.

Malpractice may arise out of a missed filing deadline,
an inadequate settlement or a misrepresentation which causes you
a substantial loss. Generally, it must be proven that the underlying
case would have been won, and what you would have collected.
