What constitutes professional negligence?

To make a successful claim, it must be established that the professional owed you a duty of care, breached that duty through their actions or omissions, and that the breach directly resulted in your financial loss. Common examples include legal professionals missing important deadlines, accountants providing incorrect tax advice, surveyors failing to identify property defects, architects and engineers providing defective designs and financial advisors recommending unsuitable investments.

How we approach your claim

Our team in Bolton takes a straightforward approach, starting with a thorough assessment of your case. We gather all necessary evidence to demonstrate negligence and calculate your losses. We aim to resolve cases through negotiation or mediation where possible, but if litigation is necessary, we are fully prepared to represent you in court.

Don’t delay

Professional negligence claims are subject to strict time limits, typically six years from the date of the negligent act. In some cases, this can be extended to three years from when you became aware of the issue. Acting quickly is crucial to ensuring your claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe.
