PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE SOLICITORS COMPENSATION CLAIMS

Work carried out by professional negligence solicitors generally involves issuing proceedings in the civil courts to claim damages for financial losses sustained as a result of negligent advice from lawyers, banks or financial advisors. Almost all professional people who give advice are insured and have the benefit of indemnity insurance which covers them against negligent actions meaning that it is an insurance company that will actually pay any damages that may be awarded.

Solicitors & Barristers

Solicitors generally prepare cases and barristers usually represent clients at the hearing in a court of law and it is this second aspect of legal practice by lawyers where difficulties may arise. Suing a negligent solicitor or a negligent barrister may not be an easy matter however like most professional people they are insured and it is the insurers who will take over conduct of the claim by instructing lawyers to represent the defendant and will pay damages for a barristers or solicitors professional negligence in due course if appropriate.

Banks & Financial Institutions

The arrogance of negligent banks and financial institutions is often breathtaking, accompanied by a total failure to ever accept culpability for some of the most fundamental errors often giving rise to substantial losses. Banks now deal with a raft of services and whilst negligence is common amongst professionals it is not surprising that banks suffer from the same problems. Banks often employ others to carry out work and it may be that the bank is responsible in negligence for their erroneous actions.

Financial Advisors

There is no doubt that claims against financial advisors can be difficult and complex. All investments carry with them risk however the question that is most often asked in regards to a negligent financial advisor is whether or not the degree of risk was fully explained and were more appropriate investments suggested. In addition most investors place heavy reliance on their financial advisor who inevitably is held out as an expert and a fiduciary relationship exists whereby the financial advisor must be seen to exhibit the same skill and care that a reasonably competent financial advisor would exhibit. Failure to posses these skills may amount to negligence.
