Legal Dictionary: Professional Malpractice
Professional malpractice occurs when a person practicing his or her profession improperly performs the duties of that profession, and someone is injured as a result. A professional malpractice suit can be brought against any type of professional, including accountants, architects, clergypersons, dentists, doctors, engineers, lawyers, and psychologists, but these types of suits most often involve members of the medical and legal professions.
