Professional negligence claims

Negligence compensation claims

If you’ve failed to secure compensation in a recent claim, you might feel that it was due to negligence on the part of your legal representatives. Equally, if you’ve invested in other professional services such as architects, surveyors, investment managers or financial advisers, you may have cause to feel that your case has been mishandled. At Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, we might be able to help you claim for professional negligence compensation against the firm involved, provided evidence of poor case management or any misconduct can be gathered.

We’re experts in professional negligence claims

We understand the range of circumstances in which these claims can arise. Did your lawyers fail to act within a time frame relevant to your claim? Did a simple procedural mistake lead to the collapse of your case, or did you have to settle for less compensation than you had been led to expect? Maybe the inaccurate advice of a financial adviser has cost you dearly? Our specialist professional negligence solicitors' approach starts with drawing in experts from our wider personal injury and individual services department. Using their profession and case specific skills, we can clarify what your previous firm’s duties should have entailed and if and how it failed to properly carry them out.

About professional negligence claims

Many people give up once they’ve failed to secure compensation, or if they find themselves unsupported by their appointed solicitors in complex legal procedures. They may be concerned at the prospect of taking action against a firm that they probably chose for their expertise. As a top 10 UK firm our specialist professional negligence solicitors have the weight and presence to represent you in professional negligence claims, without intimidation.

Do not delay in seeking our advice though – if you have failed in a compensation claim it may be that we can salvage your original case, sparing you the headache of pursuing a fresh negligence claim.

Equally, the trust we put into other professional services, because of their specialist expertise can also mean the last thing we expect is poor advice, guidance or help. Our team also handles negligence claims against other professionals such as accountants, architects, financial advisors and surveyors. We boast experience in large-scale, high-level group actions and, uniquely, we offer representation to both claimants and uninsured defendants alike.
