Professional Negligence Claims

Armitage Sykes advise on claims against professional advisors such as Surveyors, Valuers, Architects, Solicitors and Accountants.

In any potential negligence claim, the existence of a claim has to be established. It should be borne in mind that not all errors or omissions by a professional advisor amounts to professional negligence.

To succeed in a negligence claim, you will have to show:

1. that you were owed a duty of reasonable care and skill;
2. that the duty has been breached; and
3. that you have suffered loss and damages as a consequence.

At Armitage Sykes, we are able to assist in providing advice on the merits of your potential claim and can further assist in preparing your claim for purposes of arriving at a negotiated settlement. Alternatively, such preparation can assist should it be necessary for you to commence Court proceedings.
