New Orleans Law Firm Sued for Malpractice on Earlier Trial

Angela Parker and Vicki Daigrepont recently filed suit against the Law Office of Capasso and Associates in New Orleans.  The plaintiffs allege that the firm misrepresented them in an earlier case where they engaged the firm to act as their counsel in a another lawsuit.  The two women claim that lawyer’s malpractice was committed in the underlying trial, explaining that the law firm missed deadlines, failed to timely oppose a motion to dismiss, and failed to file a witness list – all of which led to their losing the case.

This type of allegation is not new and it is not the last time it will be seen.  Every law firm needs to be prepared for this situation – whether the allegations are true or not.  Carrying the proper type of insurance,  setting a deductible at the right amount and looking for ancillary coverage benefits can save firms from difficulties when responding to allegations of malpractice.  Contact a broker today to discuss how your firm can be prepared for any scenario.
