Suing Landlords & Property Owners for Injuries Caused by Falling Tiles
Statistics show that the roofs of more than a million UK homes are damaged by strong winds every year. With extreme weather conditions set to continue over the coming years, it is worth looking at the question of who is responsible for people getting injured and property being damaged by falling and flying tiles. Tiles come in all shapes and sizes, and may be made of ceramic, terracotta or cement. They are usually weighty and sharp-edged objects with the potential to cause serious injuries on impact.

- Your Compensation
Mr H decided to seek legal advice after the shop’s owners refused to accept any form of responsibility for the accident. Bartletts agreed to take on his claim on a no win no fee basis and wrote to the shop’s owners, stating that they should have been aware that the sign was insecurely fastened on the day of the accident, and given the high winds that day it was reasonably foreseeable that it could be blown off and strike someone walking below. Shops are responsible for the safety of their premises, both inside and out, and in this case the owners had negligently failed to maintain the exterior of their shop in a safe state. On admission of liability, Mr H received a total of £4,750 in compensation reflecting pain and suffering from his injuries, as well as loss of earnings due to time off work.
The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the severity of your injuries and the likelihood that you’ll make a full recovery. We’ll seek expert opinions on what care you’ll need to ensure that the compensation we claim will be sufficient.
