Professionals Must Exercise Reasonable Skill and Care

Doctors, lawyers and surveyors are all highly trained and qualified professionals; we have to trust them with our investments, finances and even our lives. Most people do not have in-depth knowledge of legal, medical and property issues, so they often have to blindly rely on the expertise and experience of professionals.

As a result of this, professionals are obliged to exercise 'reasonable skill and care' when providing advice. Unfortunately, if the advice they give falls below the high standard required, it can amount to 'professional negligence' resulting in serious financial and other, sometimes devastating, consequences for those involved.

How Osmond and Osmond Can Help You

Osmond and Osmond's lawyers will guide you through each step of the professional negligence claim process, from funding your case and whether this can be done on a 'no win, no fee' basis, advising on the strength of your case, and negotiating compensation levels.

Our lawyers will work with you to avoid where possible expensive court action by pursing alternative dispute resolution procedures and maintaining a practical approach to keep costs down. At the same time we will vigorously pursue your objectives and best interests, heading to court where necessary to secure a just outcome.

We provide details of our fees before we begin any professional negligence work on your behalf, so you will always know where you are up to with costs.

Osmond and Osmond's Professional Negligence Experience

We have particular experience in bringing professional negligence actions against the following professions:

• Legal - solicitors and barristers. For example, if a lawyer acting on your behalf missed an important court deadline or simply did not have the necessary expertise to advise you properly.
• Property - architects, surveyors and valuers. For example, if an architect provided inadequate plans, or failed to oversee your project correctly.
• Medical – doctors, dentists and other health professionals. For example, if a doctor misdiagnosed your illness or advised you to follow incorrect treatment procedures.

If you have been let down by inadequate professional advice in any of these areas and would like to claim compensation for your losses, contact will@osmondandosmond.co.uk or p.flaherty@osmondandosmond.co.uk or by telephone on 0207 583 3434 today for more information.
