What is the name of your state? CA
I am suing an attorney for malpractice, breach of contract, etc. Most of my damages fall under the heading of excessive fees. (I had to hire a second attorney to clean up the first attorney's mess.)
Although my former attorney has malpractice insurance, she has not reported the lawsuit to her malpractice insurance carrier and is opting to handle this herself.
This seems odd to me. I would assume that she has to report it or waive coverage. Is my assumption correct?
Can you think of a reason an attorney might do this?
Thank you in advance.
