Our client was renting a first floor flat from a housing association in Keighley, West Yorkshire. The housing association arranged for some building works to be carried out to the property. Unfortunately the contractors and sub-contractors failed to remove all of the debris and waste material and our client suffered injury when he tripped on some plastic sheeting used to protect the carpets which had become torn during the building works. He fell onto a refuse sack which contained a piece of metal. This caused a serious laceration to his right thigh.
The tenant called us about making a housing association injury claim on a no win, no fee basis. We concluded that a dangerous situation had been created where injury to one of their tenants was likely and that the tenant should be entitled to compensation for his injuries.
Responsibility for the accident was initially denied. However, we refused to take ‘no’ for an answer. We argued our client’s case firmly and following a series of negotiations an out of court settlement was eventually reached resulting in our client receiving compensation for his injuries.
