Accidents in rented accommodation are capable of being compensated if, for example, your landlord hasn’t had something dangerous fixed.
Usually, the owner of the building where you are injured will be responsible or, if you in trip on a faulty road or payment, the local council would be liable.
It is very important to make sure you can prove your accident, so take photos of the location of the accident, taking care to record what it was that caused the injury, such as an unexpected tripping hazard, or faulty flooring or pavement. You should also try and get contact details of any witnesses and take photos of your injuries.
Case Study: Award of nearly £200,000 to reflect change of lifestyle
The claimant was a pedestrian injured whilst out shopping and crossing a road at the mouth of a junction. A motorist didn’t see the claimant, whilst reversing into the junction, and the car knocked her down. It was a low speed impact but unfortunately, as the claimant fell, she struck her hip on the edge of the kerb & sustained a fracture which resulted in her undergoing a hip replacement operation.

If so, this is our guide as to what you should do to maximise your prospects of success. Injuries caused by defective roads, pavements and paths owned by local authorities are very common. Typically, such injuries occur when people fall over due to uneven or cracked paving stones, potholes in roads and pavements, missing or uneven manhole covers and debris on paths or roads.
