For a malpractice lawsuit would it make more sence to contact a lawyer or an attorney? -

Which one would be the better choice and what is the main difference between a lawyer and an attorney?

Same thing, bro.

Both are the same thing, some people call them lawyers and some attorneys. From Wikipedia A lawyer, according to Black s Law Dictionary, is quot;a person learned in the law; as an attorney, counsel or solicitor; a person taught to practice law.quot;[1] Law is the system of rules of conduct established by the sovereign government of a society to correct wrongs, maintain stability, and deliver justice. Working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of those who retain (i.e., hire) lawyers to perform legal services.

Nothing is different except the word. You will need a personal injury attorney/lawyer.

They re synonyms. It s not like the difference between barrister and solicitor.

A rose by any other name is still a rose... the terms are interchangeable, like cat and kitty.

Same thing.
