Is malpractice also breach of contract?

Posted on April 10, 2009 by Ed Poll

If your engagement agreement says that "you will act in a professionally responsive manner," you may be held to both malpractice standards (negligence; tort) and breach of contract! That is the new ruling in Maryland's Abramson v. Wildman and may  be the rule elsewhere.

Check both your jurisdiction rules and your engagement agreement.
