Experienced professional negligence law firm in Worcestershire
Since Resolve Law Group was formed over 30 years ago, we have gained a lot of experience which has allowed us to help many clients with professional negligence cases in Worcestershire.
People and businesses who try and deal with professional negligence cases on their own often fail, not due to lack of trying but because of a lack of legal knowledge. We recommend that you seek legal support from a law firm you can give you help during the claim and more importantly try and get the outcome that you are aiming to achieve.
What is professional negligence?
Professional negligence is when a professional fails in their ability to perform their responsibilities in comparison to the standard in the industry or breaches a duty of care. The negligence results in either an injury, damage or financial repercussions for the client.
Can you make a professional negligence claim?
If you believe that you have received a particularly poor service or advice from a trusted professional, you may have a case. However, there are two things that you should consider before making a claim:
1. Can you prove that another professional in the same industry would have offered a different service or advice?
2. Can you prove that the professional did not comply with the common practice by others in the same industry?
As part of our service, we can help you with these two issues thanks to our experience in professional negligence. We can get advice from another professional in the field that could help prove that you were a victim of professional negligence. We will also consult documents and professionals to understand what the industry standard or duty of care is to see if it was broken.
Types of professional negligence claims
Negligence unfortunately happens and occurs in a wide variety of scenarios. Below are some of the most common job types of professional negligence.
• Engineer
• Builder
• Accountant
• IT technician
• Solicitor / Barrister
• Financial advisors
• Surveyors
• Professional advisor
• Insurance broker
The list can go on as there are hundreds of ways that someone could be conducting professional negligence, but these tend to be the most common. If you think you are a victim of professional negligence and your claim is not featured on the list, please contact us and we can help understand your claim and see whether you have a claim.
Examples of professional negligence cases
There is a multitude of examples that highlight professional negligence but below are just a few common examples.
• If you instructed a barrister or solicitor to perform a certain action that was crucial for a case of yours and they failed to see it through, did not head your request or incorrectly followed the action, then this might be considered as professional negligence.
• If a property surveyor inspected a house and allowed building to start for a kitchen extension but had not properly identified that a supporting beam was rotting, then this would count as professional negligence.
Time limits for a professional negligence claim
Like most claims, there is a time limit to submit a claim. For a professional negligence claim, it must be submitted within 6 years of the negligence. 6 years is a long time for a claim, but it is important to submit a claim as soon as possible to avoid any issues that may arise in the future.
