What compensation can I expect from a professional negligence claim?
Compensation varies with each case. We’re experts at achieving fair damages that reflect your losses and at seeking other solutions, including relief from unfair treatment or regaining lost property rights.

How long do I have to bring a professional negligence claim?
Many cases have a 6-year time limit from the date when the relevant breach of duty or loss occurs. Time limits can be a complicated area of law, so it’s crucial to contact us as soon as possible to avoid potential difficulties.
-
How long does a professional negligence claim take?
The timeline for a professional negligence claim can range from a few months to several years. In many cases, they can be resolved through settlement before reaching court.

Evidence can include contracts, correspondence, records, reports, and witness testimony. Our solicitors will help you gather and present the right evidence to build a strong case.
