Claims against landlords and landowners
Accidents occur in all environments but the most common place to suffer an injury is at home. If you suffer an injury on property belonging to another, you may also be able to seek compensation. If you live in a rented home, you might be able to sue your landlord for your injury. Such claims can be very complex and you will need expert advice. Liverpool solicitors Richard Edwards & Co have the expertise you will need to secure a successful outcome.
Our expertise lies in thoroughly investigating your claim and maximising your chances of success. We will adopt the best strategy to secure this outcome. We will also help to maximise the compensation award. We will gather evidence and speak to witnesses. When required we will appoint leading barristers as part of your team, and seek advice from expert witnesses. We will provide funding for this. Your opponent will be required to reimburse the costs at the end of the claim.
The damages award will include compensation for your injuries. Any loss of earnings, plus the cost of care provided (even if by family members), and any other losses will be included too. We will advise you how to present your claim.
Award winning catastrophic injury solicitor Richard Edwards has over 20 years experience in handling complex serious injury claims. Examples of this type of claim Richard has advised in include:
- Acting for a tenant in a hostel who fell from a fourth floor window that was defective. Liability was denied and the case went to trial which lasted six days in the High Court (Colette Ashton v City of Liverpool YMCA [2023] EWHC 707 (KB)). The judge found in favour of Richard’s client who went on to recover substantial six figure damages.
- Acting for a young child who suffered a brain injury when an unsecured fire surround fell upon him in rented accommodation.
