If your attorney acted negligently and caused you to lose your case, you may be considering suing for malpractice. Legal malpractice cases have two parts: You must prove that your attorney was negligent and that you suffered irreparable harm as a result. You also must prove that if your attorney hadn’t acted negligently, you would have won your case.

For example, if you hired a car accident attorney in Lake County who failed to file your lawsuit by the deadline, causing your case to be barred forever, it may be legal malpractice. But you have to show that if your case had been filed on time, you would have been successful. You also have to show damages, such as the amount of money you would have recovered.

Lake County legal malpractice cases are filed at the main courthouse in Waukegan, which is located at 18 N. County St. Not many lawyers focus their practice solely on the area of legal malpractice. In fact, some attorneys don’t even advertise that they take such cases. There are often conflicts of interest preventing an attorney from taking a case. Some attorneys avoid the area of legal malpractice because of the tension it can cause between them and their colleagues.

Fortunately, we have identified several legal malpractice attorneys with a track record of success. You can generally consult with one of these attorneys for free. During a consultation, the attorney will want to hear all the details of your situation. Legal malpractice lawyers are paid on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if your case is successful. As a result, most lawyers carefully scrutinize cases before agreeing to represent a client – they only want to take cases with a likelihood of success.

If you have suffered irreversible harm due to the negligence of an attorney in Lake County, we recommend consulting with an experienced malpractice lawyer. Contact us at (312) 346-5320 and we will point you in the right direction. One of our Illinois attorneys will answer your questions and point you in the right direction.
