Professional negligence
Professionals are required by law to act as a competent practitioner would in the situation, and to the standards adopted in their profession. Negligence claims can arise out of advice, action, or even the inaction of a professionals.
Claims can arise in respect of goods and services provided by a range of providers, in various circumstances:
- Financial advice
- Accounting services
- Legal advice
- Real estate misrepresentations
- Engineering disputes
We act for both plaintiffs and defendants in professional negligence allegations.
Many professionals have professional indemnity insurance which means that an insurer will often ‘step in’ to defend a claim, or pay compensation.
We understand the process necessary to recover compensation, or to defend a claim.
