On many occasions the tenant has reported the dangerous hazard to the housing association, sometimes several times. Whether it be a slip, trip or fall hazard, a faulty boiler, dangerous ceiling, or problems with windows or doors in the property, the housing association should rectify the problem as soon as possible.

There has recently been a case where a lady was injured falling in her driveway as the tarmac had sunk badly in several places. The defect had been reported numerous times and the housing association had come out to look at the area, said it needed repairing but then left it. The lady then suffered a trip accident which caused severe facial injuries needing several stitches. The lady will be left with a permanent facial scar.

With recently accepted such a case which involved our client living in accommodation through South Coast Properties. He had lived there for approx one year. Since he first moved there, the carpet in the communal stairway has been very loose, making it dangerous. In this area the light has also never worked making it difficult to see the loose carpet when dark.

The man had complained continuously to the house manager, about the loose carpet and lack of lighting, but nothing was done to resolve these issues.

It was one night at approx 6pm, and the man had been to see the house manager in her room, on his way back to his room he slipped on the loose carpet in the dark and fell down the flight of 7-8 stairs. The slipping down stairs accident was witnessed by the house manager and other residents also heard and came to help.

The next day the man was in so much pain he was taken to hospital by ambulance. X-rays were taken and the man was diagnosed with a fractured right shoulder, which was put in plaster and later a sling.

After a few months the injury had still not healed so he had an operation to insert two screws and a metal plate.

Approximately one week after the slipping accident, the dangerous carpet and broken light were finally fixed, sadly to late for our client.

There are numerous ways that you can be electrocuted, whether it be an electric shock at work, your home or a public place as long as the electric shock accident was not your own fault and you were injured, then an injury claim may be possible.

We have recently accepted an injury claim for electrocution, which involved a man living in his housing association home. The client went to reach for a plastic microwave dish cover which was situated on top of his microwave. As he went to reach it, his right hand brushed the strip light underneath the kitchen unit.

The client was then thrown backwards across the kitchen floor. He screamed in pain as his finger was very sore. Our client’s girlfriend heard him and came to help. His right hand to his elbow was shaking and he called NHS Direct, they advised him that if his arm got worse or did not recover within a day or two, to visit his local hospital. 48 hours later clients hand was still shaking and in pain so he saw his doctor who referred him straight to hospital. Hospital gave him a heart trace which was normal, but diagnosed nerve and soft tissue damage to his right hand.

The faulty strip light which caused the electric shock and injured our client was 240 volts and the accident was reported to the housing association responsible the next day.

The housing association sent an engineer who looked at the faulty light and told client that both strip lights in the kitchen were fitted incorrectly as the male ends of the lights were totally exposed (live) making them very dangerous. The lights were removed by the housing association.

The strip lights were fitted by the housing association when the house was built in 2008. Client and his family are the first occupants of the house from new.
