Recently, the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled in an interesting legal malpractice suit. Some personal injury lawyer had a client and forget, statute of limitations probably the case within two years the guy good piece cost money file.

The lawyers for the lawyer (Yes, we have to lawyers) argued that the plaintiff is an other defendants in another State with a longer Statute and so could sue the lawyer could not be negligent was not completely lost the case.

Circuit Court ruled in favor of a lawyer, but the Supreme Court took its decision on the establishment, that the lawyer's failure to comply with the suit file on time to complete the immediate cause of the plaintiff was to sue in another State. In fact, the lawyer argued that he commit not misconduct, because in time to the file of only the plaintiff's case in Virginia destroyed his error. Hopefully they will they get now, that it has been taken for a process.
