Negligence

Professional negligence is on the increase!

We all rely on professionals on a daily basis regardless of our age, background, occupation and education. Professionals are sought for their expertise, knowledge, qualifications, training and experience in a particular subject as they are presumed to have more knowledge than the average individual and give us the answers we require, they are the experts.

For example when we are not well we would go and visit a doctor, if we needed our accounts doing we would employ an accountant, for legal advice we would go to a solicitor and take their word as gospel and rely upon the same.

The majority of the time these professionals are spot on with their advice which we rely upon to make various choices and decisions about various aspects of our life who we come to trust, respect and build a professional relationship with, usually we continue to use this professional for life and or recommend them to others.

However, there are times when even professionals get it wrong, make mistakes, they do not always get it right, they miss something through a pure error, acting negligently, recklessly or otherwise. Whereby the advice they convey to us leads us to make decisions, choices we should not have, would not have, if the advice they had given us was correct.

Unfortunately these situations give rise to valid and legitimate disputes which usually end up in very expensive legal battles.
