Landlord Dispute Solicitors Sheffield

If you have had an accident in a rented property, private or council, and the resulting injury was related to the negligence of your landlord, you may be able to claim compensation. PM Law Sheffield are dedicated to making the process as smooth as possible, as we fully appreciate the stress and uncertainty these proceedings can bring.

When carry out the proceedings, we would first need to establish if the Landlords actions could be described as negligent. The simplest test of this is whether they have ignored the Landlord and Tenants Act of 1985.

The most common injuries related to Landlord Negligence include: 

1. Falling objects: These are generally items falling from the structure of the property which usually lead to head ijuries.

2. Slipping and tripping: These could result from poorly installed floor surfaces that lead to falls, leg or back injuries.

3. Burns:These can result from poorly installed boilers or badly maintained plumbing. 

If there are grounds to pursue a compensation claim against your landlord, the severity of your injury needs assessing. These are generally grouped into three categories;

• Minor Injuries. Minor ligament damage or persistent joint stiffness. This form of injury will generally lead to minor compensation sums.
• Moderate. These can include loss of finger dexterity and partial loss of sight. 
• Severe. These cover loss of limbs and loss of memory function.

Depending upon the nature of your injury a medical report will be required and we will then need to assess the potential for a claim. The process is dealt with in a kind and professional way, helping our clients to feel supported and heard.
