How Do I Appeal a Loss in a Legal Malpractice Case?

Delaware County Legal Malpractice Attorney Discusses Appealing a LossMedia Legal Malpractice Attorney Discusses Appealing a Loss

 As an experienced Media Legal Malpractice Attorney I am often asked how one can appeal a loss in court.  All litigants in all negligence claims, be it a car accident or legal malpractice are required by the law to mitigate their damages. What does that mean? It means if you fall down and injure yourself in an accident, you need to seek medical attention to try to re-mediate your injuries. If you have a roof that collapses, you need to try to repair the roof. You can’t just let the weather come in for over a year and destroy the rest of your house. You have to try to mitigate your damages. A lot of times what that means in the context of a legal malpractice claim is you need to try to appeal the lost trial case if there is merit to that appeal; merit being the operative word. You’re not required to try to go to the ends of the earth to try to mitigate your attorney’s screw-up by trying to get the claim overturned on appeal. If there’s merit to it, you’re going to have to appeal it. If there’s not merit, you’re not required to do that. If there is merit to the appeal, it’s an overarching premise that the easiest way to get money in your pocket is the quickest way to get money in your pocket. If that means just appealing the underlying decision and being victorious, that’s going to get you money quicker than hiring an attorney to pursue a malpractice case. The answer to the question is no. You are not required necessarily to appeal your case.

Do you have questions about appealing the decision of your case?  If so, contact the experienced Media Legal Malpractice Attorney Patrick Gibson.

Client Reviews

“I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.”
