When professionals fall short of their duty of care, the financial consequences can be significant and require objective analysis.
Professional negligence arises when advisors, consultants, or licensed professionals breach their standard of care — resulting in financial harm to clients or third parties. These cases often involve allegations of errors, omissions, or misrepresentations in complex financial, legal, or technical matters.
At LMD Forensic Accountants, we assist legal teams and clients by quantifying economic damages, reviewing professional conduct, and providing independent financial reports to support or defend negligence claims.
Financial Complexity in Negligence Claims
Claims may involve flawed advice, improper documentation, or oversight that leads to measurable financial loss. Whether the dispute involves accountants, engineers, lawyers, or other professionals, proving damages requires clear and defensible financial modelling.
We evaluate the financial impact of the alleged error, estimate lost income or increased costs, and distinguish between actual damages and speculative claims.
