Professional Negligence claims – compensation for errors or wrongful advice

If you have been the victim of poor or negligent advice received from a professional you may be able to reclaim losses and compensation by instructing a specialist solicitor to handle your case.

Despite rigid qualification criteria and tight regulation, even the most experienced of professionals can occasionally make a mistake. You are owed a duty of care by any professional who you engage to conduct specialist services and you have the right to complain and possibly commence legal action against anyone not fulfilling their obligations.

You cannot claim for advice that you are merely dissatisfied with but which might be entirely appropriate. You cannot claim in circumstances where you are unhappy with the attitude of the professional. These generally speaking are customer service problems and not subject to professional negligence criteria.

In order to make a claim against an accountant, architect, solicitor, surveyor or other specialist, you need to establish that a “loss” was sustained by you and that this can be quantified.

If you feel that you may have a case then you need to contact a compensation lawyer who specialises in claims against professionals who wrongly advise their clients.

If you have suffered loss or damage, please make an enquiry with us today. Call FREE on 0800 0322210.

In order to succeed in a professional negligence claim you have to prove 3 things:

1) That the professional owed you a duty of care.

This is usually not difficult if you have engaged the professional to provide a service for you, because you will probably have a contract with the professional. All providers of a service under contract have a duty to provide the service with due skill and diligence – and where the time isn’t specified – within a reasonable time.

2) That the professional has breached that duty of care

You have to prove that the standard of work provided by the professional is worse than that you should expect from a reasonable professional working in the circumstances of your case.

30 That the breach of duty of care has caused you loss that can be quantified

This is often the hardest part to prove. You have to show that you are worse off than you would have been had the professional provided the service with due skill and diligence

We have a team of dedicated professional negligence claims specialist lawyers who can advise you on your prospects of taking legal action against the party or parties who provided the bad advice.
