Negligent Solicitor, Surveyor, Architect or Accountant?

Businesses and individuals depend on their professional advisors to protect them from specialist areas of business and personal risk. When a professional fails to protect their interests, they can suffer severe financial harm.

Negligence occurs if the professional has not provided a reasonable level of skill and care and the level of service or standard of work that you could reasonably expect from a professional working in those circumstances.

If you have sustained financial loss as result of negligent or poor advice from a professional such as a solicitor, barrister, accountant or surveyor then Clear Law’s professional negligence panel can help you claim compensation.

Professionals will usually have the benefit of insurance so that, assuming liability is established, claimants will be able to recover some or all of their loss and the majority of their legal costs of bringing the claim. In any event, if we do decide to take on your case it is often on the basis of a Conditional Fee Agreement (often better known as ‘No Win, No Fee’), so finance need not be an issue.

We understand you may be reluctant to put your trust in another professional organisation having already been the victim of bad advice. We’d like to reassure you that we have a proven track record of successfully winning claims for loss or damage resulting from professional negligence.

We have the expertise to understand what is needed to win professional negligence claims. We know when to settle and when to litigate and we don’t lose focus on the needs of our clients.

We are free to contact and you are under no obligation to pursue a claim for professional negligence even if we think your case has good prospects of success.  However, as with most legal actions, professional negligence cases are subject to time limits and the quicker we are notified of a case the easier it will be to gather together the evidence that we need to win.

If your financial loss is less than £10,000 then we will not be able to help you.  These cases are generally dealt with by the small claims court. The advantage with the small claims court is that the cost of recovering your financial loss is a lot less expensive than if you instructed a solicitor. The small claims court is designed so that individuals are able to represent themselves and put their case in front of a court for consideration.

So, if you have a claim valued at more than £10,000, please don’t be deterred from getting in contact.  Just use our short online form or call us and we’ll be happy to hear about your situation with no obligation on your part. One of our specialist solicitors will call you back promptly for an initial free consultation where we can begin to advise you on whether you have a case and what happens next.

We Have Made It Simple

If you think or suspect that your solicitors didn’t run your case correctly or if you think that you didn’t receive the right amount of compensation then our specialist professional negligence solicitors may be able to investigate your claim to see if you are entitled to additional payments. Our solicitors operate on a no win no fee basis, are free to contact and you are under no obligation to pursue a claim even if we think that you have a good case to answer.
