Claiming Against a Landlord
If you are a tenant, and have suffered an accident in the property in which you live, you may be entitled to pursue compensation against your landlord.
Landlords, by law, owe a duty of care to anyone who enters their premises and they must ensure that the property is safe and does not pose a danger to anyone who visits the property.
You may be entitled to claim for a whole range of accidents, where a landlord has not fulfilled this duty, including incidents where glass doors have not had safety-glass fitted; fences have not been constructed, maintained, repaired to safety standards; cupboards have fallen off loose hinges; broken floorboards etc and, in each case, personal injury has resulted. The list is not exhaustive.
