Professional Negligence / Professional Indemnity Claims

Claims arising from substandard professional advice or services that caused loss.

People and businesses rely on qualified professionals to exercise reasonable care and skill. When professional advice or services fall below the required standard and cause financial loss, property damage or another measurable harm, a professional negligence claim may arise.

Claims can involve lawyers, accountants, financial advisers, engineers, architects, building professionals, valuers, medical practitioners and other professionals. Not every poor outcome is negligence. A claim generally requires careful consideration of the professional's duty, the standard of care, what occurred, whether the breach caused the loss, and the value of that loss.

Monardo Legal can review the retainer, advice, reports, correspondence and relevant transactions; identify the critical decisions and deadlines; obtain expert evidence where required; and advise on negotiation, mediation, court proceedings and available remedies.

Strict limitation periods may apply, and relevant records can become harder to obtain over time. If you believe professional advice or services caused you loss, obtain advice promptly and preserve all contracts, reports, emails, invoices and evidence of the resulting loss.
