Sioux City Professional Malpractice Lawyer

Professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, and others, have a duty to their clients to act according to accepted standards. When professionals fail to perform these duties in an acceptable fashion, their clients can suffer serious injuries. For example, when an accountant fails to file a tax return in a timely fashion, his or her client can be subject to severe penalties. When an attorney fails to file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out, his or her client may be barred from any recourse. Edward J. Keane is an experienced lawyer who has successfully handled a number of professional malpractice claims.

Iowa Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Professional malpractice claims, unlike ordinary negligence claims, require the plaintiff to prove that the professional against who you are making the claim (doctor, lawyer, accountant, engineer, etc.) acted below the standard of care expected of one in that profession. This requires a review of your case by a similar professional, and an opinion that the expected standard of care was breached. It can take several months just to determine whether or not you have a valid claim. Therefore, even though the statute of limitations in most professional malpractice claims is two years from the date of injury, you should contact an attorney immediately so that they can make a proper and thorough investigation.

Edward Keane has represented clients in professional malpractice claims against all types of professionals, including:

• Lawyers
• Accountants
