If you feel that you have been wrongly treated by a professional, you may be entitled to claim damages as a result.

What is a Professional Negligence Claim?

A Professional Negligence Claim occurs when a professional fails to perform the duties defined by their role, which results in a direct financial loss for the client.

All professionals have set standards of care that they must comply with. Different industries and roles will have different criteria that they must uphold, but they all have the common purpose of regulating professional standards and ensuring all clients are receiving the care they deserve. If a professional is found to have neglected their duty of care or not performed their job role to the appropriate standard, you may be able to claim compensation for your losses.

The most common professionals that receive Professional Negligence Claims are: 

  • Accountants
  • Architects & Engineers
  • Construction
  • Conveyancers
  • Estate Agents
  • Independent Financial Advisers (IFA)
  • Solicitors
  • Surveyors & Valuers
