You are able to. You can sue your attorney for legal malpractice. To have a case, you must prove that your lawyer didn’t use the normal amount of skill and care that a majority of lawyers would if they were handling your case or one like it. 

For example, to win your case, you have to prove that the attorney should have done something and that they either did it incorrectly or they flat out did not do it. Then, you have to prove that you lost the case and/or lost money because of this. 

Maybe your lawyer was negligent. Perhaps their breached a contract they had made with you or they breached their duty. 

It’s important to keep in mind that, no matter what, you cannot assume that your lawyer committed malpractice simply because you lost your case. Just because your lawyer was unable to win your case, that does not mean that they exhibited legal malpractice. 

You may have a case, however, if you can show that lawyer made errors that another lawyer would never have made. It’s unlikely, but it can happen.

As soon as possible. The sooner you tell your supervisor about your injury, the better. There is no benefit to waiting.
