Our experienced professional negligence solicitors in Wigan are here to help you seek justice and recover the losses you’ve incurred. Call us today on 0161 696 6178.
Professional negligence arises when a professional’s conduct fails to meet the level of skill or care expected in their industry, causing harm or financial loss to a client. For a claim to succeed, it must be shown that the professional owed you a duty of care, that this duty was breached through their actions or inaction, and that the breach directly caused your losses. Our team in Wigan can guide you through the legal process, ensuring that all elements of your case are thoroughly addressed.
These cases often occur in various professional settings, such as:
Each situation is different, but they all share a common thread: the professional's failure to meet the expected standard of care has caused tangible harm to the client.
We begin by conducting a detailed review of your case, examining the actions taken by the professional and the losses you’ve sustained. Our goal is to resolve claims through negotiation or mediation whenever possible, aiming to avoid lengthy court proceedings. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to represent you in litigation, ensuring your claim is presented strongly in court.
Professional negligence claims in the UK are subject to strict time limits. Generally, you have six years from the date of the negligent act to file a claim. In cases where the negligence was discovered later, the time limit may extend to three years from the date of discovery. Acting promptly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
Our team in Wigan brings extensive experience and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for clients. We provide practical advice tailored to your unique circumstances, transparent communication throughout the process, and a strategic approach to securing fair compensation.
