Professional negligence by IT professionals

Many businesses, and indeed individuals, use IT professionals for expert assistance and support. We expect that advice and assistance to be accurate, and in most cases it is. However, sometimes things go wrong, meaning that you lose out financially as a result. Examples of negligence by IT professionals include:

• Misuse of confidential information
• Website security issues
• A considerable drop in SEO, leading to loss of website traffic and business
• Errors in coding, leading to website issues or issues with company computers
• Poor virus or security advice.

If you feel you have a claim against an IT professional, it is important to seek specialist legal advice from an experienced professional negligence solicitor.
