Professional Negligence

Making a professional negligence claim is not a simple matter. If you think you have grounds for complaint against an expert who had a duty of care towards to you, we can offer you advice and assistance with the matter.

We will discuss with you the terms of any contract, whether the professional is insured, the evidence needed to prove your case, and the loss you have suffered as a consequence. Where a case merits, we will advise further on the pre-action protocols necessary to bring a claim.
