Taking Early Legal Advice

If a Professional Negligence Claim is made against you – or you suspect that it could be – you must get early legal advice when defending a professional negligence claim.  As, it may affect your actions and decisions going forward.

Defending A Professional Negligence ClaimIt is also vital that you forewarn your insurance company about the potential claim. Many professionals in England and Wales have Professional Indemnity Insurance. Such policies cover the cost of legal action taken against you in a professional capacity.

However, many insurers require that they are put on notice of disputes. You therefore need to check the terms of your policy, including when you need to notify your insurer and how this should be done. It may be wise to notify your insurer in writing, even if to confirm what was discussed in a telephone call. That way, you can prove that you complied with the notification requirements.

If you are not sure what the conditions of your policy are, you should contact your insurer and seek guidance.
