Overview
Testing responsibility, causation, and loss
A disappointing result does not by itself establish professional negligence. A viable claim generally requires careful analysis of the applicable standard, what was done or omitted, causation, loss, limitation periods, and whether recovery is practical.
We review the retainer, advice, file record, available expert evidence, and resulting loss before recommending negotiation or litigation. The first task is to determine what can be proved and whether the proposed claim is proportionate.
