What Is a Private Property Accident Claim?
A private property accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you are injured while visiting, working, or living on land or premises that belong to someone else. Property owners and occupiers in the UK have a legal duty to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors.
If you are injured because this duty is breached—for example, by unsafe conditions, poor maintenance, or lack of warning signs—you may be entitled to compensation.
Who Can Claim?
You may be eligible to claim if you were injured:
• As a visitor in someone’s home, garden, or driveway
• While shopping, dining, or using facilities on privately owned land
• As a contractor or worker attending private premises
• As a tenant or lodger in rental accommodation
• On land owned by businesses, landlords, or other private individuals
Responsibility may rest with the property owner, occupier, management company, or landlord—depending on the circumstances.

How Much Compensation Could You Get?
Every private property accident claim is different. The value of your claim depends on:

• Any loss of income and the impact on your future earnings
• The effect on your independence and quality of life

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
