Professional Negligence

Holding professionals to account for their Negligence.

Professional negligence occurs when a business or individual fails to deliver services with the expected standard of care, leading to financial harm.

To establish a successful claim, you must demonstrate that the professional owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and that this breach resulted in a foreseeable loss.

This can arise from situations such as incorrect or incomplete advice, or even arithmetical errors.
