Occupiers' Liability Claims

If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions—whether it’s a business, government building, or even a friend’s home—you may have a valid claim.

What is an Occupiers' Liability Claim?

An occupiers’ liability claim arises when you are injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe or poorly maintained conditions. Under the Occupiers’ Liability Acts 1957 and 1984, property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors and, in some circumstances, trespassers.
This duty applies to a wide range of properties, including:
  • Private homes and residential properties
  • Shops, restaurants, and commercial premises
  • Government and council-owned buildings
  • Schools, hospitals, and public institutions
  • Construction sites and industrial premises
Common causes of occupiers’ liability claims include:
  • Slips, trips, and falls due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting
  • Injuries caused by defective staircases, balconies, or flooring
  • Falling objects or poorly secured fixtures
  • Inadequate security leading to assault or injury
If you have been injured on someone else’s property and the occupier knew — or should have known — about the hazard, you may have a valid claim for compensation.
