Occupier Liability Compensation

When you’ve suffered an injury while on someone else’s property due to their negligence, you may have a valid occupier liability claim. Scotland Injury Solicitors is here to provide you with the information and guidance you need to make a claim and seek compensation for your injuries.

Occupier Liability Explained

Occupier liability is a legal concept that deals with the duty of care owed by the owner or occupier of a property to those who enter the premises. It means that individuals who own or control property must take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of visitors, guests, or others who enter the premises.

Making an Occupier Liability Claim

To have a successful occupier liability claim, you should consider the following:

  1. Negligence: Your injury must be a result of the property owner or occupier’s negligence. This could be due to inadequate maintenance, lack of warnings, or unsafe conditions on the premises.
  2. Recent Incident: The incident leading to your injury should have occurred within the last three years, or within the past three years, you should have become aware of the injury or condition caused by the incident.

Types of Occupier Liability Claims

Occupier liability claims can arise from a variety of situations, including:

  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Wet or slippery floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained walkways.
  • Trip and Fall Accidents: Obstacles, debris, or uneven surfaces that cause a fall.
  • Inadequate Security: Failure to provide proper security measures, leading to assaults or injuries.
  • Faulty Staircases or Railings: Falls due to substandard staircase conditions or missing handrails.
  • Dog Bites: Injuries caused by a dog on the owner’s property.

Making an Occupier Liability Claim

If you believe you have a valid occupier liability claim, take the following steps:

  1. Gather Evidence: Document the scene, including photographs, hazard descriptions, and any witness statements.
  2. Seek Medical Attention: Ensure you receive proper medical care, in order to facilitate recovery.
  3. Report the Incident: If the incident occurred on commercial property, report it to the property owner or manager.

Slip and Trip Fall

Injuries resulting from slip and trip falls can be painful, disruptive, and, at times, entirely preventable. If you’ve experienced such an incident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. At Scotland Injury Solicitors, we’re here to provide you with the information and support you need to make a claim.

Road Traffic Accident

When you find yourself involved in a road traffic accident, the aftermath can be overwhelming. From physical injuries to emotional distress, medical expenses, and vehicle repairs, it’s a situation that no one anticipates. If you’ve been injured in a road traffic accident due to someone else’s negligence, you don’t have to face the burden on your own.

Accident at Work

No one expects to be injured while going about their daily job. If you’ve experienced a workplace injury due to another person’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to face the financial and emotional repercussions on your own.

You may be eligible to file a claim for a work-related injury if:

  1. Your accident occurred within the past three years (or if it’s been three years or less since you first became aware of your injury or condition).
  2. It was someone else’s fault, such as your employer failing to fulfill their legal duty of care towards you.
Occupier Liability

Pedestrians are afforded specific legal protections when using public spaces. These include the right of way at marked crosswalks and pedestrian zones, and motorists are legally obligated to exercise caution and yield to pedestrians in these areas.

Medical Negligence

At Scotland Injury Solicitors, we understand that medical negligence involves errors or substandard care provided by a medical professional, leading to injury or the worsening of an individual’s condition. While most healthcare providers are highly trained and deliver excellent care, mistakes can occur, resulting in life-changing consequences for patients. When you or a family member have experienced negligent medical treatment, it can be distressing. Putting your trust in medical staff when seeking healthcare is a fundamental expectation, and a medical error can leave you feeling frustrated and betrayed.

Accident in a public place

No one expects to be injured while going about their daily job. If you’ve experienced a workplace injury due to another person’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to face the financial and emotional repercussions on your own.

You may be eligible to file a claim for a work-related injury if:

  1. Your accident occurred within the past three years (or if it’s been three years or less since you first became aware of your injury or condition).
  2. It was someone else’s fault, such as your employer failing to fulfill their legal duty of care towards you.
