Professional negligence FAQs

What is professional negligence?

Professional negligence occurs when a professional fails to provide their services to the required standard of care, causing financial loss or damage to their client. Professionals have duties to provide competent advice and services, and a failure to meet those obligations may result in a claim. Examples can include incorrect advice, missed deadlines, errors in documents, or failing to identify important risks.

What types of professionals can be sued for negligence?

Claims can potentially be brought against a wide range of professionals, including solicitors, accountants, surveyors, architects, financial advisers, engineers, and other specialists.

How do I know if I have a professional negligence claim?

To bring a professional negligence claim, you will need to show that the professional owed you a duty of care, failed to meet the required standard, and that this caused you financial loss.

Our solicitors can review the circumstances of your case, assess the available evidence, and advise whether you may have a viable claim.

What should I do if I think my professional adviser has been negligent?

If you believe a professional has provided negligent advice or services, you should seek legal advice as soon as possible. It is important to preserve relevant documents, correspondence, and evidence relating to the professional’s work. Our solicitors can help assess your position and advise on the appropriate next steps.

Can businesses bring professional negligence claims?
