Are you based in Havering and have received a sub-standard unprofessional service that has either physically, emotionally or financially damaged you?  When dealing with professionals, we all expect to receive a level of service consummate with professional values, making it frustrating if we have been knocked back rather than pushed forwards.  You should not stand for nothing less than professionalism, so leave it to us to make sure you are properly compensated where others should have known better.

What is negligence

The plain English definition and the legal definition of negligence are quite different.  The origin of the legal term dates back to a famous case where a woman drank a drink with a snail in it.  The court determined that the maker of the drink had a ’special relationship’ with the customer and by not making sure that bottle was free from containments, the maker had failed to fulfil the standards expected in that ’special relationship’.

Whilst the law has developed considerably since that case, the principles are tentatively the same.  The law now uses the term ‘duty of care’ to denote a ’special relationship’ between two persons or groups and asks whether A) there is such a duty given the circumstances, B) whether that duty has been fulfilled to a reasonable standard or not (’breach’) and C) whether it is fair, just and reasonable to impose a duty.

Suing professionals for negligence

Proceeding with a negligence claim against a professional can vary considerably.  Medical negligence, for example, requires a quite different approach to negligence claims against accountants and solicitors.  Havering negligence solicitors are experienced in a wide variety of professional negligence claims, so you can be assured that you are dealing with an experienced and diligent professional in tackling your negligence claim.

Dealing with insurers

Most professional negligence claims will be against insurance companies who provide professional indemnity insurance.  Havering negligence solicitors are all too aware of the tactics these companies use to minimise the significance and impact of claims and we will devise a strategy with you at the outset to ensure you get the maximum compensation possible.
