Professional Negligence
We advise on and bring claims in negligence against professionals, for instance solicitors or barristers, doctors, architects, surveyors and accountants. Where a professional has acted for or advised you but has failed in his or her duty of care and as a result you have suffered financial loss, you may have a case of professional negligence against that professional.
Bringing a professional negligence claim
In today's climate of high expectation, professionals can too often fall short of their duties and obligations to their clients. Negligent or wrong advice, inaction and delay can cause significant financial loss.
Often a Claimant may not recognise that his professional adviser has done wrong so prompt independent advice from expert lawyers is important.
We will seek to ascertain whether the professional has breached his or her duty of care to you. We can advise you on your rights and remedies including the amount you can claim.
Most professionals will have professional indemnity insurance so a successful claim will most likely be paid by the insurer. The solicitor, doctor or accountant who acted for you will therefore most likely be represented by an insurance company or other solicitors instructed by them.
Our Professional Negligence team provides prompt and realistic advice and will guide you through the process and represent you in your claim.
If we believe you have a good case, we may be prepared to act for you on a "no win, no fee" basis.
