Personal Injury and Professional Negligence Compensation Claim Advice
How to begin a claim for Compensation
The term "professional negligence" is used when a professional person provides a client with incorrect advice or makes errors whilst providing a service.
A professional person could be an accountant, architect, barrister, doctor, estate agent, financial adviser, insurance broker, insurance company, solicitor, surveyor or tax consultants to name but a few.
If the incorrect advice or poor service led to the client suffering a financial loss or a personal injury, they may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. This claim would be known as a professional negligence claim. If the claim is going to be made against a doctor or other medical professional this type of claim would more commonly be known as a clinical negligence or medical negligence claim.

At Thompsons Solicitors, we may be able to help you with a professional negligence claim against another firm of solicitors or a barrister if they have mishandled your personal injury claim.
For example if your personal injury solicitor has missed a deadline meaning that you are no longer entitled to compensation, we may be able to make a claim against them for the damages you would have been entitled to if your claim had been handled correctly.
If you would like us to review the circumstances of your professional negligence claim and let you know if we can help you complete one of our online compensation claim forms.
Mr Humphrey was left devastated when a firm of Solicitors he instructed, failed to obtain any compensation for him after he suffered a back injury at work. The Solicitors he appointed allowed the limitation period to expire without warning Mr Humphrey of this, leaving him unable to claim any damages from his employer.
He then approached Thompsons Solicitors to assist him and we were successful in obtaining £16,500 compensation from the original solicitors who had acted negligently while dealing with Mr Humphrey's claim.
An extract from Mr Humphrey's letter said:
"Thank you for your letter dated 27th January 2005 and the enclosed cheque for £16,500 in settlement for the above claim.
I would just like you to know that I was very impressed with the service offered by your firm, I was kept well informed at all levels throughout the claim process. I received a first class service which I could not fault in any way and so thank you all very much".
