Professional negligence FAQ
Claims can be made against solicitors, barristers, accountants, surveyors, architects, financial advisors, insurers, trustees, and other professionals who owe you a duty of care.
You must show that the professional owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty, and that this breach caused you measurable loss.
Loss is usually quantified based on the actual financial impact, missed opportunities, or additional costs incurred due to the professional’s actions or failure to act.
Professional negligence claims are subject to strict limitation periods. Early advice is essential.
