How to Prove Dental Negligence in the UK

What Is Occupier Liability in the UK?

Occupier liability is the area of UK personal injury law that holds property owners and those in control of premises responsible for keeping visitors reasonably safe. It commonly arises in slip and fall accidents, supermarket and restaurant injuries, rented accommodation claims, and incidents in public or private buildings. Under the Occupiers’ Liability Acts 1957 and 1984, those who control premises must take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm, and where they fail to do so, injured individuals may be entitled to compensation.
