Occupiers Liability
If you are injured whilst on someone else’s property and it is not your fault you may have an accident claim under:
- The Occupiers Liability Acts 1957 and 1984
- The Defective Premises Act 1972
- the general law of negligence
Under the occupiers liability legislation the person in control of the premises must take such care as is reasonable in the circumstances to see that any visitor will be reasonably safe. Those circumstances include being prepared for children to be less careful than adults. Other considerations may be relevant if a tenant is injured on property owned by their landlord. Such claims can involve:
- accidents in shops
- accidents in factories
- accidents in pubs and restaurants
- accidents in leisure centres
- accidents in playgrounds and schools
- accidents in hospitals
- accidents in other buildings open to the public
