Congratulations to Jon Hansen for securing a #win for our attorney client in this legal malpractice action – nice work, as always, Hansen! 🎯 In legal malpractice claims, a plaintiff must prove the following elements: 1. 𝘼𝙩𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮-𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥: in most cases, the plaintiff must have had an attorney-client relationship with the attorney who allegedly committed malpractice; 2. 𝙉𝙚𝙜𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚: the plaintiff must prove that the lawyer failed to act with the skill and knowledge commonly and reasonably possessed by a similarly situated attorney; 3. 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚: the plaintiff must prove that he or she would have prevailed had the lawyer not been negligent ➡ in this case, the legal malpractice claim against MCLC’s client was dismissed because the Court found that even had malpractice occurred, plaintiff could not prove that he would have been successful with his prior case; 4. 𝘿𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨: the plaintiff must prove actual or ascertainable pecuniary loss – anything speculative or hypothetical cannot be recovered. If any of these elements fail, the claim fails. #mclclaw #legalmalpractice #professionalmalpractice #professionalliability #attorneyclientrelationship #standardofcare #proximatecause #damages https://lnkd.in/eHKjw5zi

The Villarreal Law Firm, a renowned personal injury law firm in Brownsville, Texas, has released concise content aimed at clarifying the role of a personal injury lawyer after an accident. This initiative forms part of the firm's 'Questions and Answers' outreach program. 'As personal injury lawyers, we often get entangled in legal complexities, overlooking the need for clear communication with average people,' said Javier Villarreal, Managing Partner. 'Our latest outreach aims to help individuals understand the basics while encouraging them to consult a licensed attorney.' The new content explains how personal injury lawyers bridge the gap between inadequate insurance company settlements and fair compensation for accident victims. They meticulously investigate accidents, gather evidence, negotiate relentlessly with insurers, and if necessary, litigate in court to secure justice. Javier Villarreal, known as 'The Law Champ,' embodies this commitment to fighting for clients' rights. Consulting a personal injury lawyer offers the best chance at achieving rightful compensation under Texas law. #PersonalInjuryLawyer #BrownsvilleTX #JusticeForAccidentVictims @jvlawfirm
