Compensation for Tenant Injured When Kitchen Cupboard Fell Down
A recent client contacted Bartletts Solicitors after he was injured when a cupboard fell on him at his rented flat that he had only been living in for three days. Mr T was in the kitchen, when he opened the door of a wall mounted kitchen storage cupboard and the fixture fell on him, knocking him to the floor. It later emerged that the rail to which the cabinet was attached with hanging brackets had come loose from the wall, meaning that the slightest pressure was all that was needed to dislodge the unit. Mr T sustained a broken rib, extensive bruising to his upper body and a sprained wrist in the accident, and his girlfriend called an ambulance due to the pain and shock he was in. After being treated in hospital, Mr T was off work for two weeks while recovering from his injuries, and did not earn any money during that time due to his self-employed status. He subsequently decided to get in touch with our firm after researching property disrepair and the responsibilities of landlords online.
