Professional Negligence Claims

Main Content

Paying a professional to provide you with expert advice should be comforting. This is because they have the expertise you lack and can offer you the best advice possible in your particular circumstances.

SOMETIMES ADVICE RECEIVED IS WRONG

Thankfully, most of the time you utilise the skills and expertise of professionals without a second thought and their advice is correct.

However, sometimes this isn’t the case. Providing you can show that their advice fell below the standard you would expect and that you suffered a loss as a result, then you may be able to make a claim for professional negligence.

Types of Professional Negligence

Guidance for Claims Against Negligent Professionals

1.1

There are lots of ways in which you may rely on a professional for advice. Whether it is a surveyor reporting on a property you want to buy or a solicitor who is making a personal injury claim on your behalf.

If these people make a mistake in their advice, it can make a huge difference in your life. For example, you could end up with a property that is not up to the standard you believed when you purchased it. Or perhaps the under-settlement of your personal injury claim. Some of the professionals who could be professionally negligent are:

  • Accountants

  • Architects

  • Barristers

  • Doctors

  • Financial advisors

  • Solicitors

  • Surveyors

This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you think you may have suffered negligence from a professional not listed here, please do get in touch to discuss this further.

Client testimonials

  • We decided to use a local solicitor for our recent house sale and purchase. Despite it becoming a much more complex and pro longed matter. Christopher Taylor provided excellent service throughout his advice was clear and concise and he always found time to talk through options and next steps. He dealt very well with the less than helpful solicitors used by the other parties too. Highly recommend.

  • I was looking for a firm to assist my mother, my sister and myself with the drafting of new wills. I am so pleased we chose this firm. Tom Maxted-Pettman put us all at ease, talked through our options in language we understood and arranged it all with the minimum of inconvenience to us. We got a highly professional service for a reasonable fee. I would recommend this firm to anybody needing legal assistance.
