How can we help?
Professional negligence occurs when a solicitor, a surveyor, an architect or another professional who provides advice and guidance to their clients, fails to give the correct information. To protect themselves from this, many professionals carry some form of insurance.
If you believe that you have been let down by a professional, and suffered some quantifiable loss, then you’re going to need our team of professional negligence lawyers by your side. Whether you have been let down as an individual or during the course of your business life we can help.
Making a claim against a professional who has either provided you with wrong information or has acted in a way that has breached their duty of care to you, such as failing to meet a vital deadline, can be a legal nightmare.

Firstly, you will need to establish that the professional in question owed you a duty of care in carrying out your instructions. It is important in a successful claim for professional negligence to prove that the professional breached their duty of care and that this has caused your loss.

This depends on each individual professional negligence case. It maybe that after an initial assessment your case could be looked at under a 'no win, no fee' arrangement.
You could also have legal expenses insurance in place, which may cover the legal costs of making a claim. This is often added to your home insurance policy and referred to as family legal protection. Alternatively you may be a member of a union which provides funding or legal assistance.
Usually, it will be necessary to issue court proceedings within six years of you suffering the loss. If you do not do this, there is a risk you will not be able to make a claim for professional negligence.
If you think you may have a claim for professional negligence we would suggest your contact us so we can advise you further. Speak to our legal experts on 01616 966 229 or complete our online enquiry from and a member of the team will contact you directly.
