You may have heard that SSB Law Solicitors have gone into Administration. SSB Law handled lots of Defective Cavity Wall Insulation and Medical Negligence Claims. It has now come to light that many of the Claims that they handled were negligent.

If you pursued a Claim with SSB, it is understandable that you may be concerned or worried about that will happen next. The good news is, you do have options. You may be entitled to make a Counter Claim against them for Professional Negligence due their conduct in running your Claim.

I pursued a Defective Cavity Wall Insulation Claim through SSB – What are my options?

Here at TEN Legal, we are currently assisting people in your position who have chosen to make a Counter Claim against SSB for Professional Negligence. We invite you to contact our team of Specialist Solicitors, who will review your case file and assess whether you will have a successful Claim for Professional Negligence.

Now that SSB Law have gone into administration, what happens to any outstanding fees?

With No Win, No Fee claims, if the Claim is unsuccessful or should have to be discontinued, any fees associated with the Claim will be covered by the After the Event (ATE) Insurance Policy taken out on your behalf by your Solicitor.

We have come across some instances where SSB clients have been sent bills to cover the legal fees and expenses of the other side. In this instance, we advise that you contact the ATE Insurer to see if they will cover these costs. If they refuse due to inadequate cover, this is reason to pursue a Professional Negligence Claim against SSB. When entering a No Win, No Fee claim, it is the responsibility of the Solicitor acting on your behalf to ensure that adequate financial protection is in place.

What should I do next?

We advise you to seek legal advice to get better clarity of the position you are in and what options are available to you.

If we take on your claim, either for Medical Negligence or Professional Negligence, this will be handled on a No Win, No Fee basis. Our team of Specialist Solicitors will ensure you have adequate protection through our ATE Insurer.
