Common injuries

Injuries from housing disrepair

Landlord negligence causes real injuries that affect your health, your work, and your daily life. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled workplace accident claims and housing disrepair claims like yours before.

Lungs

Respiratory problems

Damp and mould trigger asthma, bronchitis, and chronic lung conditions. Breathing problems that worsen the longer your landlord ignores them.

Head Brain

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Faulty boilers can leak toxic CO gas. Brain damage, heart problems, and devastating long-term effects. Similar to medical negligence claims, these cases require specialist expertise.

Broken Bone

Falls & fractures

Broken stairs, loose floorboards, and torn carpets cause serious falls. Fractured bones, head injuries, and long-term mobility problems.

Electric Shock

Electric shocks & burns

Faulty wiring and dangerous sockets cause electrical injuries. Burns from defective boilers and fire from unsafe electrics your landlord ignored.

Skin Rash

Skin & allergic reactions

Mould spores and damp conditions cause eczema, dermatitis, and severe allergic reactions. Conditions that clear up when you leave, proof it's the property.

Mental Health

Psychological trauma

Anxiety, depression, and stress from living in unsafe conditions. The mental toll of fighting a negligent landlord deserves real compensation.

Common questions

Landlord negligence claims FAQ

Everything you need to know about making a housing disrepair claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.

Yes, you absolutely can claim if your landlord's negligence caused your injury. When landlords fail to maintain safe conditions, faulty electrics, damp, broken stairs, dangerous boilers, and you get hurt as a result, that's grounds for a housing disrepair claim. You're a tenant, not a building inspector. Keeping your home safe is their legal duty, not yours.

We see tenants struggling with medical bills, respiratory problems, and injuries that should never have happened. None of that should be your burden. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.

Housing disrepair includes dangerous conditions like faulty gas appliances, broken stairs, damp causing health problems, or dodgy electrics. If your landlord ignored these issues and they caused you injury or illness, you can make a housing disrepair claim for compensation.

Compensation depends on your injuries and circumstances. Respiratory problems from damp and mould can range from £2,070 to £11,820, while serious injuries from falls or carbon monoxide poisoning can be worth significantly more. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical bills, and damaged belongings. Use our compensation calculator for a quick estimate.

No, you won't pay a penny upfront. We handle all landlord negligence claims on a No Win, No Fee¹ basis, if we don't win your case, you don't pay anything. The financial risk sits entirely with us.

No. The law protects tenants from revenge evictions. Your landlord cannot evict you for pursuing a legitimate housing disrepair claim. If they try to intimidate you, contact your local council immediately. They have powers to deal with landlord harassment.

You typically have three years from when the injury happened to start your claim. Don't wait though. Evidence is easier to gather and witnesses remember more when you act quickly. If you've already moved out, you can still claim within three years.

More common than you'd think. According to RoSPA data, around 6,000 people across the UK lose their lives each year from injuries sustained at home. Falls, trips, and accidents caused by poor maintenance are the leading causes.

Many of these are preventable if landlords meet their legal obligations. If you've been injured due to housing disrepair, you deserve compensation for their failure.
