Accidents on private property cover injuries that happen on land or premises you don’t own or control, where liability may lie with the occupier under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 and 1984. A solicitor in this area investigates how the incident occurred, gathers evidence such as photographs, CCTV, and witness statements, and handles a civil claim to recover damages. They liaise with insurers, draft pleadings, and progress the case through court if settlement cannot be reached, aiming to secure appropriate compensation for the injuries and loss suffered.

The solicitor’s role culminates in pursuing or defending a claim where the outcome has lasting financial and personal consequences, making timely, well-supported decisions essential to protect the client’s position.
