Professional negligence can arise when a person or organization operating in a professional capacity breaches their duty of care to a client, resulting in injury, damages, or financial loss.
Four main components must be demonstrated for a professional negligence claim to prevail; that the professional owed you a duty of care, which may have arisen as a result of a contract between the two of you; that this duty of care was breached by the professional's actions, such as poor advice or incompetence; that the breach caused you a loss, whether financial, in health, or otherwise; and that any damage you suffer was a direct result of the professional's breach.
