Professional negligence

In addition to pursuing personal injury claims, Irvings also take on cases against other solicitors.

Occasionally solicitors make mistakes.

In personal injury cases the limitation deadline is sometimes missed, meaning that the right to make a claim is lost.

Another common cause of negligence claims is the solicitor’s failure to value the claim properly, and to settle it for less than it was worth.

Sometimes solicitors make deductions from damages without agreement.

All of these can be grounds for a professional negligence claim against your solicitor.

Quite apart from personal injury, solicitors sometimes make mistakes in conveyancing transactions, probate matters, and other areas of law.

If you think that your solicitor may have made a mistake which has caused you loss, Irvings can look into this for you.

We can also investigate whether there has been negligence by any other professional who has advised you e.g accountant or surveyor.
