Professional Negligence

Expertise

Professional negligence cases tend involve the more difficult, heavyweight questions of the law, tend to be complicated, and can go on for a long time. At Morrish Solicitors, we have a dedicated team of Lawyers dealing with claims arising from the negligence of professionals where that negligence has given rise to financial loss.

This is a particularly specialised and sensitive area of legal practice and, at Morrish Solicitors, our professional negligence cases are only ever dealt with by appropriately experienced, senior Solicitors.

Our professional negligence team comprises members of the Law Society’s Legal Complaints Service Panel and the Professional Negligence Lawyers’ Association. The team has handled a diverse range of professional negligence cases for both individuals and institutional clients for over 25 years.

We are specialists in this highly complex area of law and act solely on behalf of Claimants.

Work Undertaken

We deal with a wide range of claims resulting from professional negligence, but have particular expertise with claims arising from services provided by:

• Solicitors
• Barristers
• Accountants
• Financial Practitioners
• Surveyors
• Construction Professionals
• Insurance Brokers

We have previously successfully handled claims and secured compensation for clients where:

• Surveyors have failed to properly carry out a client’s mortgage valuation survey missing massive subsidence leading to the property in question being condemned
• Accountants have failed to correctly draw up accounts or to file them in time leading to financial losses by the business concerned and penalties by the Inland Revenue
• Solicitors dealing with the purchase of our client’s property have failed to secure appropriate rights of way or to advise in relation to the position of for example public footpaths

Funding Claims

We offer a free ½ hour consultation and in appropriate cases “No Win, No Fee” arrangements may be available.

We are committed to ensuring that all our clients keep 100% of any compensation they are awarded.

We are also able to offer ‘after the event’ insurance from the leading provider in the market to guard against the risk of having to pay the costs of the other side in what is a particularly complex area of the law.
