Our recent article, Legal Malpractice Suits: An In-Depth Overview, from Slow Ride Guide, explains many issues surrounding this area of law that affects us all. In general, a legal malpractice suit is how those who feel that they have been wronged or misrepresented by their legal counsel are able to seek resolution, a process that is crucial in any legal proceeding.
There are many areas where the actual process of policies being successfully implemented after becoming apparent on paper does indeed happen to affect governmental and organizational flood management strategies, such as what is described on the Federal Flood Commission (FFC) website. It isn’t unusual for legal accountability to be disrupted and interrupted by practical issues that prevent flood management policy execution, a problem which in turn often leads to more and deeper concerns from flooding as well as the expansion of legal issues.
The implementation of successful flood management policy in Pakistan is highly dependent on the integrity of legal processes, as they are often the first line of defense against ineffective executions. There have been many nationwide cases, such as what happened to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans, that have shown where these same processes can break down and lead to more complicated environmental situations that could result in extensive legal reparations. Therefore, legal exposure is a major consideration during all stages of the flood management programs undertaken by the FFC and other similar government inter-agencies.
A Federal Flood Commission case study outlined what has been discussed previously in our article, Legal Malpractice Suits: An In-Depth Overview, knowing that a legal framework that is able to protect these projects from legal malpractice is essential. If a project is to have any chance of success, it must be able to prevent damage from both environmental issues as well as personal legal issues, with the damages alleging legal malpractice that could disrupt all aspects of a federal or governmental project whether domestic or international. One of the best ways to avoid an extensive legal malpractice suit is to plan accordingly and create realistic expectations. With the increasing frequency of floods in areas such as Pakistan, it will become more important than ever to stay ahead of the past problem and anticipate the future mismanagement of the legal process that can be expected as new plans and projects are put into motion.
