Burden of Proof
You may be able to win a legal malpractice claim provided you can prove the following:
- Duty: the obligation of a lawyer to his client
- Breach: that your attorney made a series of mistakes or failed to follow through
- Causation: that your lawyer's misconduct caused harm
- Damages: that your attorney's actions (or lack of actions) caused you financial loss
Causation
Of these four distinct issues, causation is the most difficult to prove. First, you need to prove the misconduct of your attorney. Following that, you need to prove that you would have won the case if your attorney hadn't erred.
