Professional negligence arises when a professional fails to perform their duties to the required standard of skill and care.

Our team have helped clients claim for professional negligence in a wide range of situations and offer advice where there has been a:

•  breach of professional duty of care
•  breach of contract
•  fraud committed by a professional

We help clients who have been the victim of professional neglect bring claims against property professionals, such as architects, builders, civil engineers, surveyors and valuers.

What is the process to bring a professional negligence claim?

Our professional negligence solicitors can guide you through the process of bringing a professional negligence claim. This can include correspondence with the professional who has let you down to provide you with the opportunity to resolve matters outside of the court process if that is what you want it.

We often help to facilitate early offers of compensation and work through dispute resolution procedures such as mediation with our clients. Mediation if appropriate can provide the opportunity for a quick and cost effective resolution but is not the right solution for everyone.Our team have extensive experience at every stage of the process all the way through to trial.

Is there a time limit for professional negligence claims?

You usually have six years from the date of neglect to bring a professional negligence compensation claim, but this can vary depending upon the circumstances of your case. The time limit is called a limitation period.

Whilst there are time limits, it is best not to delay speaking with a professional negligence solicitor if you believe you have grounds for a professional negligence claim, as it is better to discuss potential claims early on.
