Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• no claim for malpractice exists until loss at trial level is made final on appeal
• when attorney improperly failed to consummate settlement of lawsuit, cause of action for legal malpractice accrued when client learned that lawsuit was revived
• cause of action for negligent failure of attorney to settle lawsuit arises when client learns of revival of suit, not when revived suit reaches judgment, because failure to settle changed only amount of damage ultimately suffered by client
