Professional Negligence Disputes

If you have suffered financial loss in reliance on professional advice, there is a chance that you have a claim in professional negligence. Many people are unaware that professionals across varying industries owe their clients a duty of care to give adequate advice. When this duty of care is breached, it is generally said to be negligent, even if it occurred accidentally. There are various laws to ensure that this standard of professionalism is maintained.
