Elements of a Successful Professional Negligence Claim
To be successful with your professional negligence claim, you will need to prove that you can meet the professional negligence “test” as follows:
- Duty of Care – a duty of care is typically evidenced by the written retainer or instruction letter between the professional and client but in the absence of a written agreement it may be implied by the parties’ conduct.
- Standard of Care – Establish the standard of care expected from the professional in their specific field. This involves comparing their actions to what a reasonable and competent professional would have done under similar circumstances.
- Breach of Duty – you will need to demonstrate that the service provided by the professional fell below the standards of a reasonably competent professional. The professional is judged by the standard of care of a reasonably competent person in the area in which they hold themselves out as having expertise.
- Causation/Loss – you will also have to prove that you have suffered loss caused by an error, mistake or bad service from the professional.
- Damages – Provide evidence of the actual losses or harm you experienced as a result of the professional’s breach. This can include financial losses, emotional distress, or other damages.
The relevant test is whether “but for” the professional’s error, mistake or bad service would the loss have still occurred anyway? A claim will not succeed if you would have acted in the same way regardless of whether the professional had been negligent or not.
If you think you have suffered a loss as a result of an error, mistake or bad service by a professional, it is important to act quickly and seek advice on the merits of your negligence claim. Call us for a Free Consultation today.
Common Examples of Professional Negligence
Our no win no fee solicitors for professional negligence have experience in dealing with a vast array of negligence complaints against professionals for example:
- Lawyers: missed time limits or deadlines; failure to investigate fundamental issues or evidence; failure to prepare a case with due care; failure to comply with court directions or deadlines; providing wrong or outdated legal advice; failing to follow instructions provided by a client; wrongly following a cause of action; administrative mistakes; failing to recover sufficient compensation and/or under settling a claim; and not keeping the details of their client’s matter confidential or acting when there is a conflict of interest
- Financial Advisers: failure to advise on the risks of entering into a financial product; wrongly assessing a client’s attitude towards risk when recommending a financial product; and failing to follow instructions provided by a client.
- Surveyors: failure to discover latent defects such as dry rot, woodworm, or a leak; over-valuation of a property; and failure to identify subsidence.
- Conveyancers: failure to investigate title correctly; failure to discover or warn of restrictive covenants burdening the property; failure to ensure proper planning permissions and building regulations consents obtained.
Case Example – Successful Professional Negligence Claim
Our no win no fee professional negligence lawyers acted for a construction company that purchased the freehold of a property located in London. However, the conveyancing solicitors acting in the property purchase failed to properly alert our client and advise that there were restrictive covenants which significantly affected the freehold reversion value of the property.
Our professional negligence lawyers were instructed by the construction client and successfully settled the professional claim against the conveyancers during the pre-action phase as the insurer’s solicitors sensibly admitted liability early without court proceedings having to be issued by the client.
The claimant client left the following feedback for our lawyers:
“Very satisfied with the way that Karim and his team took hold of a messy conveyancing professional negligence claim, and progressed it through to an amicable settlement in just over 6 months. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and also pragmatic with advice and strategy. I would not hesitate to recommend.”
