Claims For Slips and Falls on Private Land

Falls and slips on private land could potentially result in a private property accident claim. Although less common than claims for accidents in public places, it is possible to claim compensation for accidents that occurred on other individual’s property, assuming the accident occurred as a result of another person’s negligence.

To find out more about making a ‘no win, no fee’ accident claim following a slip or fall on private land, contact Alkers on 0800 00 55 44 or complete the enquiry form and we will get back to you.

Occupiers’ Liability Act

Slips and falls on private land fall under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, which states that the occupier or owner of the premises or land in question has a duty of care to any visitors, and therefore must ensure that they remain safe for the duration of their visit. However, no-one is liable for a pure accident, or an accident that occurs as a result of another person’s misadventure.

Even if you were not a lawful visitor, and were trespassing on another person’s land, you may be eligible to make a ‘no win, no fee’ compensation claim. Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1984, all occupiers or owners have a duty of care to all persons including unauthorised visitors.

Am I Eligible to Make a Claim?

Compensation could be due where accidents have occurred in private areas, or where the owner or operator has not taken the legally required steps to eliminate potential hazards. This lack of care is fundamental to the claim procedure. If the owner has household contents insurance then they may be covered for such eventualities anyway.

If you are unsure of whether you are eligible to make a claim, our accident claims specialists will be happy to advise you.

Success Stories

“Alkers Solicitors looked after my claim following an accident in my car. Their service was excellent, I was kept updated with the status of my claim every step of the way. They took care of everything for me, arranging for my car to be fixed and for me to see a specialist doctor about my neck injury. I was six months pregnant at the time so it was great not having to worry about anything. You really feel that they actually care about your case and that you are not just on a conveyor belt of claims. The compensation came through really quickly and I also received money for the damage to my vehicle….I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Alkers to anyone who finds themselves needing to make a claim following and accident.”
