Professional Negligence
Compensation Claims For Injured Clients Who Have Suffered Negligence By Their Chosen Solicitor
Sometimes, injured people go to solicitors in respect of a personal injury claim, only to find that things go wrong. They are deprived of the right to pursue a valid claim for compensation as a result of some fault, referred to as professional negligence, on the part of the solicitor they had chosen to handle their personal injury compensation claim.
This may result because they have gone to a firm with limited experience of personal injury work, or simply because the firm of solicitors does not have a proper case management system for ensuring that time limits are complied with. Time limits are strictly laid down by the legal system and if these are missed, it is the client who will lose the opportunity to receive their rightful compensation for their suffering and loss.
Some examples of how things may go wrong are:
- Missing the time limit for commencing court proceedings;
- Issuing proceedings but failing to serve them on the defendants,
- Issuing proceedings but failing to serve them properly on the defendants;
- Failing to comply with a court order, as a result of which the case is struck out;
- Poor advice, e.g. saying there is no valid claim when there is;
- Under settling the case, e.g. settling quickly rather than taking sufficient time to negotiating an appropriate level of compensation for the injuries suffered by the client.
