Whatever stage or size of your business, our Business Law teams are  here to help you see the way ahead.

Making a Professional Negligence Claim

You depend on your professional advisors, whether they be your accountant, architect, surveyor, or solicitor, to perform their jobs effectively.

If you or your business have experienced disappointment due to a professional’s actions, it can lead to significant and far-reaching losses. In such situations, you may have the right to seek compensation for the damages incurred as a result of their negligence.

The initial step is to determine whether you have a valid claim and to assess the extent of your losses. If you choose to proceed, your solicitors can assist you in gathering the necessary expert evidence and manage the entire process on your behalf.

When can you file a claim?

You have a five-year window to file a claim against a professional for breach of contract or professional negligence, starting from the moment you became aware of the loss you suffered.

Why is an expert report essential for your claim?

Although it may seem clear that a professional advisor has failed you, the legal requirements are more intricate. It necessitates expert testimony from a qualified professional in the relevant field, confirming that no reasonably skilled professional would have acted in the same manner. Your claim for professional negligence must be substantiated by a professional report.

We can connect you with the appropriate experts and engage them to produce reports that evaluate the viability of your claim.
