Claims Against Solicitors

If you have suffered loss as the result of the negligence of a solicitor or other legal professional please make an enquiry with us today.

The most common type of solicitors' negligence is missing a deadline needed to pursue your case or missing a time limit set by the court.  There are strict time limits for starting court proceedings. If your solicitor fails to issue Court proceedings within the relevant period you may be able to bring a claim for compensation arising out of their negligence.

Examples of missed time limits include:-

• Missing the deadline for issuing proceedings - in the Courts or Employment Tribunals;
• Failing to advise on insurance funding, so that you end up being personally responsible for paying the other side's costs;
• Failing to register the new owner and mortgagee of a property within the correct time limits, thereby allowing another charge to take priority;
• Late payment of tax, incurring a penalty charge;
• Failure to register an option under a lease, rendering it ineffective

Other areas include; where the solicitor has missed crucial evidence that affects your claim; has settled your claim for less than it is worth; has made a mistake on the type of claim you should bring; or if he or she simply lacks the expertise to advise you properly on how best to pursue your case.

Solicitors cannot practice without insurance of at least £2m so there will almost always be someone to pay compensation arising from any claim against a negligent solicitor.
