What is a Professional Negligence Claim?
The term “professional negligence” is used when a professional person provides a client with incorrect advice or makes errors whilst providing a service. A professional person could be an accountant, architect, barrister, doctor, estate agent, financial adviser, insurance broker, insurance company, solicitor, surveyor or tax consultants to name but a few. If the incorrect advice or poor service led to the client suffering a financial loss or a personal injury, they may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. This claim would be known as a professional negligence claim. If the claim is going to be made against a doctor or other medical professional this type of claim would more commonly be known as a clinical negligence or medical negligence claim.
