Financial Negligence - Dublin
Everything You Need to Know
Have you lost money as a result of financial negligence?
There will be several occasions in your life that you will need professional financial assistance. An accountant, a broker, pension advisor or another form of advisor may be involved. You expect the professional to behave in your best interests at all times.
Many people hire financial advisers to help them better manage their money and reach their financial objectives. Unfortunately, financial advisers who provide them with inaccurate, deceptive, or negligent financial advice will lead them astray. As more reports of financial incompetence emerge, Irish laws have been reviewed to reflect the value of offering reliable financial advice. These laws are intended to protect victims of negligent financial advice, who may also suffer catastrophic financial damages as a result of their actions.
As a result, these claimants will be able to pursue financial negligence claims to recover compensation for their damages. If you think you have been given negligent financial advice, continue reading to learn more about filing a lawsuit against a financial advisor and the steps involved.
Financial practitioners are highly qualified and well-trained to achieve excellent performance. However, any limited or Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) must be licensed by the appropriate Authority and/or Irish Central Bank.
This ensures that the financial professional must adhere to their regulatory body's strict regulatory laws. As a result, as their client, they owe you a professional duty of care. In most cases, the financial advisor will perform their duties with fair care and expertise. However, mistakes do happen, and standards can fall short of your expectations and the expectations of a reasonable similar advisor.
The consequences of bad or misleading advice can be devastating to your financial well-being. It can cause a lot of anxiety and worry. Worse still, it is easily avoidable. So, if a specialist you trusted fails you, you may have a reasonable ground to sue for financial negligence.
Also known as a financial planning compensation claim, a financial negligence claim is a way for people who have lost money because of poor, deceptive, or negligent financial advice to get paid. This type of claim is typically made against a professional financial adviser or his or her employer. However, there must be concrete proof that your adviser acted negligently and as a result you have suffered a loss.

What are Examples of Negligence?
Individual choice determines how each person handles their own finances. It is a service industry with a wide range of goods and services to meet those needs. It also means that there are a number of explanations why you may have a legitimate financial advisor negligence argument.
The following are some examples of financial negligence claims that we can help with:
- Recommending financial products that are risky or unsuitable for your circumstances after considering your personal circumstances.
- Obtaining inadequate information about your personal circumstances, financial condition, financial priorities, financial needs, and risk tolerance.
- Recommending financial products for which they earn commission despite the fact that they are too risky or unsuitable for your circumstances.
- Failure to warn you of all of the risks involved in a plan.
- Rather than a balanced and diversified strategy, recommending a large investment in one product.
- Failure to consider the impact of a strategy on your retirement, especially for older investors.
- Failure to provide alternative investment options advice
It's important to remember that financial advisers aren't to blame for any poor investment decision. Some investments can increase or decrease in value due to market volatility rather than poor financial advice, and financial advisers cannot be held liable for such fluctuations.
