Professional & Financial Service Claims
We expect professionals to be just that – professional. We expect a competent, efficient standard of service and for their advice to be reliable. In most cases, this is what we get. However, there are occasions where things can and do go wrong. If a professional has let you down, Joanne Lezemore can help.
When deciding whether or not a professional has been negligent, the law looks to the standard set by other professionals. If the professional in question has acted in a manner which is not in keeping with normal competent professionals in that industry, then you may be entitled to compensation if you have suffered a loss.
Professionals, including financial services professionals, owe their clients a ‘duty of care’. This duty exists where you have placed trust and reliance in the professional’s services and the professional knew that you were relying on their advice.
These types of cases can be complex, and involve some degree of interpretation. As such, you should take advice from a professional negligence solicitor before taking any legal action.
Many professionals are covered by insurance through their regulatory body and, in such cases, it’s the insurance company that will defend the claim. These companies will instruct a specialist lawyer, which is why you should do likewise.
