ContinueTo make a successful professional negligence claim, you will need to demonstrate the following:
1. You were owed a duty of care by the defendant professional;
2. The professional breached that duty of care;
3. The breach caused you a financial loss.
There does not always need to be a written agreement. A professional holding out to have particular expertise and advising the client, may be assuming duties towards the client.
As a claimant you will need to demonstrate that the professional fell below the standards of a reasonably competent professional, having regard to the standards normally expected in that profession.
It is important to seek expert legal advice promptly if you believe you have a claim.
