If you have been the victim of poor or negligent
advice received from your solicitor, accountant,
architect, surveyor or other specialist, you may be able
to claim compensation for professional negligence.
We are a firm of compensation lawyers who specialise
in claims against professionals who wrongly advise their
clients.
If you can demonstrate that you have suffered
loss or damage as a result of receiving negligent
advice, please make an enquiry with us today.
PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR ENQUIRY IN WRITING BY
COMPLETING THE FORM ABOVE RIGHT. OR SEND AN EMAIL TO
enquiries@theclaimsconnection.co.uk
Because of the nature of these cases and the
complexities involved, we do not deal with enquiries via
our usual helpline. Please submit your case to us in
writing providing as much detail as you deem necessary.
We will then contact you to discuss the case further.
This ensures that you receive the best advice possible
and do not waste time by repeating key issues.

IN ORDER TO CLAIM - YOU MUST
SHOW:
1 - The professional owed you a duty of care.
This is usually not difficult if you have engaged the
professional to provide a service for you, because you
will probably have a contract with the professional. All
providers of a service under contract have a duty to
provide the service with due skill and diligence – and
where the time isn’t specified – within a reasonable
time.
2 - The professional has breached that duty
of care
You have to prove that the standard of work provided
by the professional is worse than that you should expect
from a reasonable professional working in the
circumstances of your case.
3 - The breach of duty of care has caused you
loss
This is often the hardest part to prove. You have to
prove that you are worse off than you would have been
had the professional provided the service with due skill
and diligence. Sometimes, especially with negligent
advisers, their negligence has not caused actual loss,
so much as disappointment, in that you are simply worse
off than you thought you were. Such disappointment does
not on its own give you a claim.
* PLEASE NOTE *
We cannot help with
general complaints about poor service OR poor
professional attitudes or procedures. We deal with
financial loss claims and in order to pursue such a
claim you must be able to demonstrate an actual loss has
been or is likely to be sustained
We have a team of dedicated professional negligence
lawyers who can advise you on your prospects of taking
legal action against the party or parties who provided
the bad advice.
We can deal with cases involving:
Failed litigation and
complaints against solicitors or barristers for poor
legal advice
Property transaction issues and
Conveyancer negligence
Complaints against misselling of financial products such
as endowments, bonds, pensions etc.
Claims and
complaints against architects often jointly with
building contractors.
Compensation for
negligent house surveys or valuation reports from
surveyors / valuers.
Our professional negligence team is headed by partner
Richard Lindley who is a solicitor on the Negligence
Panel Referral Scheme operated by the Law Society.
If we are able to take your case further, we will
provide you with a completely free legal opinion on the
merits of your case. We will advise you in detail about
how your claim may proceed.
If we feel that your case has merit, we will consider
dealing with the matter NO WIN NO FEE.
