What does professional negligence involve?
- Standard of care: Assessing whether the professional’s actions fell below the accepted standards in their field.
- Duty and breach: Establishing that the professional owed a duty to the client and breached that duty through errors or omissions.
- Causation and loss: Demonstrating that this breach directly caused financial or other measurable losses.
- Types of claims: Claims may arise from legal advice, accounting errors, medical malpractice, or other professional services.
- Mitigating factors: Considering whether external factors or the client’s own actions contributed to the loss.
How can a solicitor help with professional negligence, and what does it cost?
A specialist in professional negligence can:
- Assess your claim: Review your case to determine if the professional’s actions deviated from the required standard of care.
- Gather evidence: Collect documents, expert reports, and witness statements to build a strong case.
- Advise on legal strategy: Outline the best approach—whether to negotiate a settlement or proceed to litigation—based on your circumstances.
- Represent you in court: Advocate on your behalf in negotiations and, if necessary, during court proceedings.
Costs for professional negligence claims depend on the complexity of your case, the volume of evidence, and the solicitor’s expertise. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, with fixed-fee or staged-fee arrangements sometimes available for specific stages of the process. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, estimate potential expenses, and determine the best course of action to recover your losses.
