Professional negligence
If you are a victim of professional negligence, call Cleaver Thompson Solicitors in Alfreton and Clay Cross.
A professional standard
Every professional is required to meet a professional standard of work, whether they are a surveyor, financial advisor, or solicitor. If their negligence or a mistake has caused you harm or loss, then you may have a claim against them.
SERIOUS FINANCIAL LOSS
Professional negligence occurs when a professional has not provided the required standard of care, either due to negligence or error. In many cases, their negligence can cause a serious financial loss, property damage or even injury. If this can be proven to be the case, then you may be eligible for compensation to help you redress any loss you may have incurred as a result of the professional negligence.
Professional negligence procedure
We will follow the procedure for a professional negligence claim, which will include:
1. Formal notification of your grievance
2. Collection of evidence and independent expert advice
3. Assessment of the loss and expenses incurred
4. Sending a letter before action, which will include an option to settle out of court
5. Negotiation to get the best out of court settlement possible on your behalf
6. If the matter is unresolved, and it goes to court, a judge will decide if compensation is payable, and if so, how much.
