Robert Jarvis
A new study of legal malpractice in Florida shows that insurers pay an average of $154,000 per claim and that lawyers who are the subject of a claim pay an average of $11,000 in out-of-pocket expenses.
When it comes to being the subject of a legal malpractice claim, men far outpace women, 83% to 16%, and the average lawyer targeted by a malpractice claim has 22 years of experience.
