Professional Negligence Claims

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 to 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. Alternatively a conveyancer may have failed to investigate a property title or failed to warn of restrictive covenants on a home purchased.

Some of the professionals who could be professionally negligent are:

• Accountants

• Architects

• Barristers

• Doctors

• Financial advisors

• Solicitors

• Surveyors

• Insurance Brokers

• IT Professionals 

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.

We will guide you through the legal process with our plain speaking approach. Often claims are resolved without the need to commence legal proceedings and we will also advise you on alternative ways to resolve your dispute such as informed discussions with the professional and his or her insurers, or more formal mediation.

We have helped a client recover damages against a solicitor who failed to properly advise in relation to a financial settlement in a divorce case of £175,000. We have also successfully recovered compensation of £50,000 against a surveyor who failed to properly report the poor condition of the roof in a survey. 

As a result of our many years of experience, you can rely on us to get things right for you. Your trust in professionals is probably at an all-time low, and we recognise that.

We will apply all of our usual client standards to your claim. That means you have a direct dial telephone number for your solicitor and team and their email addresses. This way you can get updates on your claim in the way you feel most comfortable.

You may also have concerns about how you can fund your professional negligence claim, but there are options open to you. Talk to us now to find out more about ‘No Win No Fee’ agreements and other funding options.
