Professional Malpractice
Legal, medical, design, accounting, and insurance professionals have a duty to uphold stringent standards. Decof & Decof helps protect clients’ interests when professionals in Rhode Island and Massachusetts fail to do so.
Formidable advocates for victims of professional negligence
Our experience includes pursuing a wide range of professional liability claims involving the following:
Accounting malpractice
Accounting negligence can lead to serious financial losses and tax penalties. Decof & Decof understands accounting responsibilities and will pursue accounting malpractice cases when justified.
Legal malpractice
Our firm provides sound analysis of attorney conduct and helps clients hold their lawyer responsible when his/her negligent conduct impacts their legal rights.
Claims against insurance companies
You purchase insurance to cover losses to your home and your auto and when disability or death strikes. When an insurance company fails to cover a valid claim, Decof & Decof sues for coverage and helps hold the insurance company liable for bad faith practices.
Decof & Decof’s significant professional malpractice cases
- Settlements totaling $180 million recovered on behalf of the State of Rhode Island in litigation against accountants, directors and officers, and law firms arising out of the Rhode Island credit union failures in 1990
- $1.7 million settlement of a disputed insurance coverage claim for chemical spill
