When an attorney or compliance officer mishandles protected health information during discovery, settlement negotiations, or regulatory response, the breach can trigger dual liability: both traditional malpractice for negligent legal work and separate HIPAA enforcement action. The stakes differ fundamentally from general legal malpractice because the client's exposure extends beyond the attorney-client relationship to patient rights, regulatory penalties, and reputational harm that malpractice insurance may not fully cover.
