Professional Negligence Claims Solicitors, London

It may seem that with the tight regulation surrounding the provision of much professional advice that negligent advice is rare. However, all the regulation in the world cannot prevent negligence and at Selachii we deal regularly with claims against professional firms of all shapes and sizes.

What is Professional Negligence?

For a successful claim for professional negligence to be made, there are three things that must happen:

1. You must have acted on the advice given;
2. You must have suffered a loss as result of acting on the advice and would not have taken the course of action you did if you did not take the advice; and
3. You were owed a duty of care by the professional who gave the advice and that duty was breached.

These may seem to set a very high hurdle, but in practice, professional negligence cases can be successful in cases where it may seem that the criteria are only weakly satisfied. Also, most negligence claims are settled without the need for court proceedings.

When you instruct a professional you trust that they will do their job to a certain standard. However, sometimes things go wrong, resulting in potentially significant harm and loss to clients, to businesses or to your personal finances.
