When is a professional held liable for damages resulting from a breach of professional liability law?

In Arizona, professionals may be held liable for damages resulting from a breach of professional liability law when they provide a service that is not up to the standard expected by the customer or client. This can include not properly performing a service, providing incorrect advice, or failing to provide the expected level of care. When a professional has breached their professional responsibility, the injured party may be able to sue for damages. Depending on the situation, the lawsuit may be a civil action or a criminal charge. In civil lawsuits, the plaintiff (the injured party) must show that the professional acted negligently or recklessly and as a result, caused harm or damage to the plaintiff. In criminal cases, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the professional acted with intent to cause harm or damage to another. This may include fraud, embezzlement, or other criminal behavior. In most cases, professionals are held liable for any damages that resulted from their breach of professional liability. This includes both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages can include out-of-pocket costs or lost earnings, while non-economic damages may include emotional suffering, pain and suffering, or other damages. In Arizona, the court will determine the amount of damages that the professional must pay to the injured party. This amount may vary depending on the severity of the breach. Generally, the court takes into account the extent of the breach and the amount of harm or damage caused.
