Your Professional Negligence Claim - What To Do When Your Advisor Lets You Down

We all rely on professionals to give us specialist advice. Doctors, Dentists, Accountants, Lawyers, the list is endless and for the most part we get excellent service from these trusted advisors.

Unfortunately, these professionals are still human and they can make mistakes. Sometimes their mistakes can be minor, leading only to delays and frustrations, and other times these mistakes can me major and cost us significant amounts of money.

Our professional advisors have a duty of care to ensure that they give us accurate and appropriate advice and, when they breach that duty, we have the right to make a professional negligence claim in order to secure compensation for the losses caused by their negligence.

Or possibly a surveyor incorrectly valued a property for you, or did not highlight defects which then effected the truevaluation. Maybe your financial advisor missed a critical deadline or recommended a tax scheme which failed. Maybe your dentist gave you a misdiagnosis which then led to you receiving the wrong treatment and incurring further problems.

Of course proving such a professional negligence claim is not always an easy matter, particularly for lay people such as us, who lack the specialist knowledge.

Are you really enough in the know to prove that the duty of care has been breached? Are you the best person to assess the losses associated with such a breach of trust? Do you know enough about the law to progress such a claim effectively?

We could write a letter, make a phone call or visit our professional advisor in order to seek redress but, without knowing what constitutes professional negligence we are at a severe disadvantage.

The best way of dealing with your concerns is to take advice from a specialist professionla negligence solicitor who will then tell you the merits of your claim and pursue it on your behalf.

There are many other reasons why people may be reluctant to pursue a professional negligence claim.

- A wish to avoid damaging an otherwise satisfactory professional relationship.

- A fear that the cost of pursuing such a professional negligence claim would be too costly.

Don't worry. Consulting a specialist professional negligence claim lawyer may cost less than you think and many offer a no win no fee arrangement which means that you are guaranteed not to lose any money if the courts do not decide in your favour.

So if you suspect that your professional advisor has been negligent, act quickly and seek expert advice.
