Missed limitation dates continue to result in a significant number of malpractice claims against lawyers every year. In the post, Don’t Blow it with those Statutes of Limitation Dates, Mark Bassingthwaite writes: “One would think that with the rise of computerized calendaring systems there would be a decrease in the frequency of these types of errors. Unfortunately, it hasn’t played out that way. In fact, now-a-days malpractice carriers classify some of these claims as a failure to respond to the calendar. The calendaring system worked; but for one reason or another, the attorney just didn’t get the job done.” If this rings at all true, whether for your own practice or a colleague’s, read Bassingthwaite’s six simple reminders for how to avoid missing limitation dates in your practice.
