All kinds of accidents happen every day in the UK. Here are some other examples of how you may be affected.

Occupier's Liability
If you have an accident whilst on a shop owner/occupier's property, your accident is their responsibility and if you've been injured as a result within the last three years, you may be able to claim. However minor you may think your injury is to begin with, any accident that happens on public property must be recorded in the on site accident book so if this wasn't done at the time, a quick phone call can see to it.

Examples of such accidents are:


• Slipping on wet floor in a restaurant where no warning signs were erected.
• Walking into a full length glass shop window not adequately marked to ensure visibility.
• Accident at a funfair.

Product Liability Claim
The Consumer Act of 1987 gave consumers access to justice against manufacturers producing dangerous & faulty goods. Since the introduction of the Act, thousands of people in the UK have successfully made a product liability claim against the manufacturer of a faulty product that has caused a personal injury. The range of products covered is huge, from cosmetics to cars.

Examples of successful defective product personal injury claims include:


• Injuries caused by defective appliances or equipment electric shock and burns caused by the incorrect wiring of a new boiler.

• Injuries caused by a poorly designed product, for example, a kettle that allowed steam to escape around the handle, resulting in burns to the hand.

• Cases involving injuries to the hair and scalp suffered in hair salons, such as burns.

• Injuries caused by foreign bodies found in products a stone in a breakfast cereal caused the loss of a tooth

• Injuries arising from a product being damaged during the manufacturing process, for example a glass shower screen that shattered after one days usage.

Housing Disrepair
These claims often involve vulnerable tenants needing help from solicitors to handle a claim.

Housing disrepair claims are vital where the tenant or occupier is suffering injury because of the disrepair. Examples of disrepair include carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty gas fire, unsafe floorboards or dangerously loose roof tiles. Your solicitor will need to collate expert evidence from a surveyor or environmental health officer, and medical evidence establishing injuries or risk to health caused by the breach of the repairing covenant.
