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.
