Professional Negligence
Professionals—doctors, lawyers, accountants—are legally and ethically bound to serve the public’s best interests in a timely manner. When professionals do not live up to their standards of care, financial or physical injuries, or even death, may occur. The Raleigh law firm of Twiggs, Beskind, Strickland & Rabenau works with individuals and families to recover damages for injuries or deaths caused by professional negligence.
Examples of past professional negligence cases include:
- $4.3 million settlement for an undocumented immigrant who suffered the loss of intestines due to misdiagnosis
- $2 million settlement for a man injured in negligently performed spinal surgery
- $1.55 million arbitration award for a family of a 71 year old man who suffered a heart attack after surgery and later died
- $2.75 million settlement for failure to timely perform a C-section, resulting in cerebral palsy

Medical Malpractice
Even the smallest medical errors can have disastrous consequences. If you believe you or a loved one is the victim of medical malpractice, contact us immediately. We work with leading medical experts to carefully analyze your case to determine if you have grounds for a malpractice case. Once accepted, we take many of the following factors into consideration when preparing your case:

- The impact of misdiagnosis
- Past and future lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Overall present quality of life
- Daily limitations
The attorneys at Twiggs, Beskind, Strickland & Rabenau know the important role concrete medical findings play in malpractice claims. Factual medical research is presented to the court by our expert witnesses. Financial information we compile supports claims for lost wages as well as future potential. We fight for full compensation for your injuries—or for the loss of a loved one—and will not rest until we have pursued every means for winning your case.
Legal Malpractice
Legal malpractice occurs when a lawyer fails to provide clients with proper services resulting in harm to the client. Many firms do not have the courage to go after other lawyers who have injured their clients. We do. Twiggs, Beskind, Strickland & Rabenau attorneys believe that the victims of legal malpractice deserve the same quality representation as the victims of other malpractice.
Accounting Malpractice
Accounting professionals work with one of the most vulnerable aspects of our lives: our finances. It is essential these professionals meet certain standards of care and responsibility. Unethical or negligent treatment of your finances on their part is grounds for accounting malpractice. Speak to one of our legal representatives to determine how to proceed with an accounting malpractice suit if you feel your trust has been violated.
