Occupier Liability Claims
Understanding Your Rights in Premises Liability Cases
When you’ve suffered an injury while on someone else’s property due to their negligence, you may have a valid occupier liability claim. Baker Hardman 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.

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.
Inadequate Lighting
Poorly lit premises that result in accidents.
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
To have a successful occupier liability claim, you should consider the following:
- 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.
- 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.
If you believe you have a valid occupier liability claim, take the following steps:
Gather Evidence: Document the scene, including photographs, hazard descriptions, and any witness statements.
Seek Medical Attention: Ensure you receive proper medical care, as this documentation can support your claim.
Report the Incident: If the incident occurred on commercial property, report it to the property owner or manager.
