_______________________________________________________________ Texas Programming Malpractice,
Negligence, Breach of Contract, and Deceptive Trade
Practices
Claims
Programming
malpractice, negligence, breach of contract, and fraud can
cause a business significant damages to a business.
With the common practice of outsourcing many critical
functions and services to programming companies, accounting
firms, consulting firms, and other technology companies,
many businesses have become vulnerable to negligent
programming, design malpractice, and faulty computer
networking. When computer systems go down including
accounting systems, backup systems, payment systems,
networks, or security system, millions of dollars can be
lost and business services can brought to a stand still.
The aftermath of these system failures or network crashes
have aspects of many different types of legal claims
including negligence (programming malpractice), breach of
contract, fraud, deceptive trade practices, and
misrepresentation.
If your business has been seriously
damaged by a computer problem resulting from negligent
programming, poor network design, or failure to set up
adequate computer network security or adequate back ups, it is important to seek the help
of computer specialists to examine and fix your problems.
If it is determined that the problem was the result of
negligent programming, negligent design, malicious design,
or malicious programming, it is important to hire a computer
lawyer that can assist you seek compensation. Texas

Programming Malpractice Claims
(Negligent Programmers)
Networking and Programming Malpractice Claims occur
when a professional computer programmer fails to act as a
reasonably prudent programmer would in designing a computer
program or network system. The deviation from normal
programming practices will need to be proven through other
programmers that testify that the negligent programmer
failed to follow reasonable standard programming practices
in the development and/or writing of software. In
failing to take reasonable customary steps in programming a
critical system function the negligent programmer has to
have breached their duty as a professional programmer and
this breach has to have caused damages.
While computer problems and
technology glitches are common, programming malpractice
claims are not. This is because it can be
difficult to prove that a computer glitch or programming
problem is more than just a simple mistake or bad judgment,
but is actually a deviation from standard programming
practices. To win on a programming
malpractice claim you have to prove 1) the negligent
programmer was a programming professional that had a
duty or legal responsibility to exercise reasonable care in
providing computer programming or services,
2) the negligent programmer breached this duty by failing to
provide programming or design services that a
reasonable programmer would provide in this situation, and
3) this breach of duty caused damages. Programming
malpractice and networking malpractice claims have to be
proven through other competent programmers that are willing
to testify that the negligent programmer committed
programming malpractice.
Negligent Programming Claims
Negligent programming and
networking claims are very similar to malpractice claims in
that both types of claims are based on duty, breach of duty,
and causation of damages. However, the standard in
normal negligence claims is based on the reasonable person
standard and the malpractice claims are based on a
reasonable programmer standard. The normal negligence
claims do not require experts like the programming
malpractice claims and are typically easier to prove.
When filing a law suit based on a computer network crash,
computer glitch, programming mistake, design problem, or
programmer error claim, it is common to file both
programming malpractice and negligence claims.
Breach of Contract
Programming
Claims and Network Design Claims
In addition to programming
malpractice and negligence claims, most large computer
design and networking projects are based on contracts that
include safe guards and clauses that protect businesses from
computer software, programming, and networks that do not
work or are flawed. In determining if a contract has
been breach, it is essential to have a copy of the contract
and to be able to review the contract. Most computer
programming negligence claims also include breach of
contract claims. Breach of contract claims and
deceptive business practices claims allow the damaged
business to seek attorney's fees in addition to compensation
for the damages that they have suffered.
Deceptive Trade Practice,
Fraud, and Misrepresentation Claims Arising our of Computer
Programming and Networking Contracts
In some instances computer
programmers or network designers go beyond mere negligence
and actually commit fraud or misrepresent what their
programming or network will do. These knowing
misrepresentations that are sometimes the results of
overzealous salespeople or unethical business people trying
to make money can result in Deceptive Trade Practice Claims,
Fraud Claims, and Misrepresentation Claims. Bringing
malicious and deceptive business practice claims are more
difficult to prove, but if they are proven they allow a
damaged party not only be reimbursed for the damaged caused
by the wrongdoer, but also seek punitive damages and
attorney's fees.
Bad Programming & Networking Claims
With the World becoming more
computerized businesses are becoming more sensitive to
computer programming, networking, and design problems. These claims arise when careless or
malicious computer professional make mistakes, commit fraud,
or misrepresent what their applications, systems and networks
will do. Computer and network crashes can cause millions of dollars in
damages, business shutdowns, and other serious business problems.
Make sure that your business has competent computer and
networking professionals to oversee your critical systems.
