Professional Negligence is when a person is in breach of a duty of care in the course of their professional activities, which consequently results in some form of damage to the claimant.
If you you feel your existing Solicitor has not handled your case properly then get in contact with another solicitor to see if you have a claim with Professional Negligence.
In Solicitors negligence claims, failure to issue or serve your claim on the defendants within the time limits allowed by the court, and failure to comply with other time limits are the most common causes of a claim for professional negligence.
In addition, solicitors sometimes issue proceedings against the wrong defendant, or fail to notice a specific type of claim that you could make.
In other cases clients have been wrongly advised to settle when they could in fact have received a larger sum.
Medical Negligence When people are treated by health care professionals, there are cases where things go wrong.
Claims consist of claims against GP's and Hospitals for, amongst other things, incorrect diagnosis, negligent treatment and failure to perform surgery to an acceptable standard.
All above are brief descriptions of what Professional negligence is.
How can this happen? You would think when you have hired a solicitor to fight your case for you he/she would do it properly.
Its their job and they should be doing it to the best of their standards to help you and to get the best possible result and not agreeing at the first choice so its over and done with.
Its a a lot more hassle filing another professional negligence case against your old solicitor and then hiring a new one to take it on.
Why cant they do it right the first time?
