A Closer Look At Professional Liability & Your Rights

“Professional negligence” refers to negligence committed by lawyers, accountants, insurance representatives, financial advisors, engineers, and more. Specifically, professional negligence can include:

• Overbilling
• Fraud
• Breach of Fiduciary Duty
• Poor Preparation Leading to Mistakes
• Negligent Advice or Opinions
• Conflict of Interest
• Unethical Conduct

If a financial advisor fails to provide informed guidance, you could lose your financial security. Similarly, if an insurance agent misrepresents a policy, you might think you have a certain level of coverage when you do not, leading to monetary damages when you need the policy.

Elements Of A Professional Negligence Lawsuit

• First, you must demonstrate a professional relationship between yourself and the individual or firm. The relationship between a professional and a client is often solidified through documents and might include contracts or other written agreements.
• You must demonstrate a breach of your professional relationship with the defendant. In other words, you have to prove that the professional in question betrayed the implications of your relationship and caused your damages.
• Causation refers to the correlation between your damages and the defendant’s negligence. If the professional (attorney, accountant, etc.), was negligent but did not directly cause your damages, a successful lawsuit may be impossible; you must prove causation.
• Finally, you must show evidence of your damages. In many professional liability cases, damages are financial. In short, you must show the value of the services you hoped to obtain and the value of your losses.
