How can we help?
When a professional’s failure to meet the expected standard of care causes you financial harm, it may be a case of professional negligence. This can occur across various fields, including legal services, accountancy, surveying, architecture, engineering and financial advice. If you have suffered losses due to a professional’s errors or poor advice, our skilled professional negligence solicitors in St Helens are here to help you seek compensation and guide you through the legal process effectively. Call us today on 0161 696 6178.
A successful professional negligence claim must demonstrate three key elements: that the professional owed you a duty of care, that they breached this duty through their actions or inaction, and that the breach directly caused your financial losses. These claims commonly arise in situations such as a solicitor missing important legal deadlines, an accountant providing incorrect tax advice, a surveyor failing to detect property defects, or a financial advisor recommending high-risk investments that are unsuitable for your situation.
Our St Helens solicitors take a comprehensive approach to professional negligence cases, beginning with a detailed assessment of your claim. We gather evidence to establish how the professional's conduct fell short and calculate the impact of this on your financial situation. We aim to resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation whenever possible to avoid the stress and costs of court proceedings. However, if litigation is necessary to secure a fair outcome, we are fully prepared to represent you in court and present a strong case on your behalf.
It’s important to be aware of the time limits associated with professional negligence claims. Typically, you have six years from the date of the negligent act to file a claim, but if the negligence wasn’t immediately apparent, the time limit may be extended to three years from when you first became aware of the issue. Acting promptly is essential to protecting your rights and improving your chances of a successful claim.
With extensive experience handling professional negligence cases, our solicitors in St Helens provide clear, practical advice and are dedicated to securing the best possible outcome for you. We prioritise transparent communication, ensuring you are fully informed at every stage of your claim. Whether your case can be resolved through negotiation or requires litigation, we have the skills and expertise to guide you effectively.
If you believe you have a professional negligence claim, don’t delay seeking legal advice. Contact our St Helens solicitors today on 0161 696 6178 for a consultation. We’ll assess your case, explain your legal options, and help you pursue the compensation you deserve for the harm caused by professional negligence. Let us help you move forward and recover the losses you’ve incurred.
