Professional Negligence
Professional negligence occurs when a professional fails to perform his/her responsibilities to the standard required causing loss.
A professional is someone who professes a special skill and therefore owes a duty to practice that skill in a proper manner.
In order to be successful in a claim for professional negligence it must be shown that:
- the professional owed a duty of care;
- the professional breached that duty of care; and
- that the breach caused a loss.
The consequences of receiving poor or careless advice or a below standard service can be devastating and lead to serious consequences; it can cause you to make a bad investment, lose money and time or lead you to take unnecessary risks and miss opportunities.
We can advise on claims against professionals, including:
- Legal professionals (solicitors and barristers)
- Accountants and tax advisers
- Architects, surveyors and valuers
- Financial advisers
- Insurers and brokers
- Property agents
