Given our wealth of experience, we have built up key relations with the finest barristers and experts in the country. This means that every member of your legal team is prepared to achieve the best possible result for you.

Most professionals will have some level of insurance in place to compensate victims of negligence. We have considerable experience in dealing with insurance companies and determining early on the extent of insurance in place. Therefore, the likelihood of recovering any settlement or judgement.

Time Limit For Professional Negligence Claim

The time limit to make a claim will vary depending on the type of claim that you are looking to make. However, the limitation period for professional negligence is usually six years from the date in which the incident happened. 

In certain circumstances there can be situations in which this can be extended however we recommend you speak to a member of our team to discuss your eligibility. 

Alternative Dispute Resolution

The use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is becoming an increasingly common way to try and resolve litigation outside of the courtroom.

Mediation

This is a flexible, voluntary and confidential form of ADR, in which a neutral third party (the mediator) works with all the parties towards a negotiated settlement. Unlike a judge, a mediator will not decide the case on its merits but will work to facilitate an agreement between the parties.

Arbitration

All the parties must agree to submit the dispute in question to arbitration. Like a judgment, the decision of an arbitrator is final and binding on all the parties.

Adjudication

This is most commonly used in construction disputes. Adjudication is a statutory right that the parties cannot contract out of. A party to a construction contract has the right to refer a dispute to adjudication at any time. The adjudicators’ decision is binding on the parties. Adjudication can be a speedy and cost-effective way of resolving disputes.

Our specialist team of professional negligence lawyers have substantial experience of ADR. We have the experience and flexibility to be able to advise you on how best to deal with your dispute, including when will be the best time to try and settle the dispute. Often, this will result in a saving of time, costs and aggravation.

If you have any questions or queries about ADR, please contact one of our specialist professional negligence lawyers to discuss further.
