Professional Negligence Solicitor

Professional Negligence

Most of us will require professional advice at some point in our lives, and will expect any professional services to be delivered to us with skill and care by a team of experts. Sometimes your advisor or team of experts in a particular field can fail to meet the standards that are required of them. If you believe that has happened, the Hay & Kilner team will work with you to identify if your advisor has been negligent and how to put forward a claim.

How we can help

Professional negligence claims can arise from administrative errors, technical and legal errors, or in some cases disregard for your best interests. They can lead to financial losses, wasted time and significant distress. At Hay & Kilner we have a strong reputation for handling professional negligence claims for your business against a variety of professionals and recovering financial compensation if appropriate.

What is professional negligence law?

Professional negligence law deals with situations where a professional, such as a doctor, lawyer, or accountant, fails to perform their duties to the required standard of care, resulting in harm or loss to their client.

This type of law allows clients to seek compensation for damages caused by the professional's mistakes or omissions.

To prove professional negligence, the client must show that the professional owed them a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused damage as a result.
