More details to this question:
my children were in an accident 3 years ago. we lost one daughter. we signed with 2 different attorneys-one for product liability and the other against the insurance company. no one ever had the car preserved. i had to find another product liability attorney because the one i signed with dropped us. by the time i got another product liability attorney who currently represents me the car had been destroyed. with the car being gone our lawsuit against gm had to be settled for pennies on the dollar. my product liability attorney has recommended i speak with someone. no one who we had signedagreements with preserved the car which was detrimental to our case

Dear Ms. Strough:
Each case is unique but for a successful product liability claim it is typically essential to preserve the defective product for forensic analysis by experts. If the first lawyer failed to act to preserve the vehicle, there may be a claim against him. However, there is a two year statute of limitations for legal malpractice claims, so the viability of your legal malpractice claim will be determnined by the date of the failure to act by the lawyer. I would be happy to discuss this matter further if you wish to contact me.
