Professionals provide services in all walks of life. They are mandated by law to conduct themselves in accordance with standards of practice. When they fail to uphold those standards in the provision of services, and cause injury or loss, they may be liable to pay compensation. Damages are generally paid by professional liability insurers. Acts of negligence can also be committed by municipalities and institutions and in each case there are strictly enforced limitation periods that limit the time within which claims can be made. If you have been injured or suffered a loss, don’t wait. Call us for a free consultation. We will advise you whether there has been negligence in your case and the extent of your damages.
Although money can’t always right a wrong, it is the form of compensation most often awarded by the justice system. This ensures that professionals are kept accountable for their actions, and that the public is indemnified against acts of negligence.
