Texas Attorneys for Professional Malpractice & Negligence
When professionals violate the standards of their field, the consequences can be serious—sometimes even life-altering. At Bailey & Galyen, we represent clients in cases involving professional misconduct, including malpractice and gross negligence, across a wide range of industries.
What Is Professional Misconduct?
Professional misconduct occurs when a licensed individual—such as a doctor, lawyer, financial advisor, or pharmacist—fails to uphold the ethical or legal standards of their profession. This failure can lead to serious harm, financial loss, or even loss of life.
Common examples of professional misconduct include:
- Conflict of interest
- Failure to diagnose or provide proper care (gross negligence)
- Financial mismanagement or fraud
- Improper disclosure of confidential information
- Breach of fiduciary duty
These types of actions (or inactions) can cause real, measurable damage to clients or patients—both emotionally and financially.
Fields Commonly Affected
While professional misconduct can happen in any field, the most commonly reported industries include:
- Medical and healthcare
- Legal services
- Financial institutions and banking
- Pharmaceutical companies
If you've been harmed by a professional’s breach of duty, you may be entitled to pursue legal action and seek compensation for damages.
Legal Consequences and Client Rights
Penalties for professional misconduct vary depending on the state, the severity of the violation, and the harm caused. In Texas, consequences may include:
- Fines and financial restitution
- Punitive damages
- Loss of professional license
- Civil lawsuits
- Probation or disciplinary actions
As experienced Texas malpractice attorneys, we help clients understand their rights and options when holding professionals accountable for unethical or negligent behavior.
