Private Property Accidents Compensation

Claiming for an accident on private property

Accidents can happen anywhere, but owners of privately owned property or land such as shops, parks, cinemas, schools, council owned buildings, or even private homes have a duty to ensure that they are safe to visit. Claims for defective premises can also be brought against private landlords, local councils, housing association and sometimes even agents who manage property on behalf of landlords.

Under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957, all owners of private property and land have an obligation to ensure as far as possible the safety of all lawful visitors.
