That’s why if you have had them your whole life, only to lose them in an accident, it can have a devastating effect on your life. Ultimately, you may have experienced emotional damages, as well as physical damages. You may feel confused, vulnerable and unable to fully understand what has happened to you. You may also be feeling extremely angry at the person who is responsible for your accident.

It is completely understandable. After all, they have changed your life for the worse and now it is up to you to try and put the pieces back together.

What could classify as a personal injury?

Before we talk about loss of sight injury claims, let’s talk about personal injury claims in general and the damages they cause. If you get hurt in a personal injury, you have been hurt in a public environment that was under the responsibility of a higher authority. These can include, but are not limited to:

Shops
Restaurants
Public parks
Public outdoor areas
Car parks

Unfortunately, in some cases, you may have fallen over or slipped in a public area where no one was responsible for your safety. This could include falling over a kerb or onto the pavement. With that being said, if you were hurt in an area where it was the responsibility of someone else to keep you safe, you could be eligible for compensation. This could include shop owners, restaurant owners and your local government. Your injuries may have been due to their negligence, as they did not do their best to keep you safe. Ultimately, that means that they did not adhere to their “duty of care” and you became hurt as a result. Therefore, they are guilty of negligence. That is why you could be owed compensation for your injuries. Some of the most common personal injuries include:

Loss of Sight: How could you get hurt?

Some of the most common loss of sight accidents happen due to someone else’s negligence or failure to act. These type of causalities are known are “no-fault accidents.” It means that someone else was responsible for you getting hurt. Now, loss of eyesight can happen through many different types of accidents in commercial properties, in the workplace or in a vehicle on the road. Take a look at the infographic below to get a better idea of what sort of accidents could cause a loss of sight:

As you can see, there are many different ways that you could experience loss of sight. What’s crucial about this type of injury is that you seek out medical assistance as quickly as possible. That way you can see a professional that can lessen the impact of the damages. Some symptoms of loss of sight could include:

Vision loss
Spots in vision
Bright lights flashing
Pinprick vision
Undiagnosed medical conditions (i.e. diabetes, hypothyroidism, macular-degeneration)

Of course, not all loss of sight comes immediately from an accident. Instead, there may be factors at your place of work that slowly degenerates your vision over time. This includes exposure to bright lights, the same way that you could experience hearing loss from exposure to loud noises. If you are worried that this is happening to you, you will need to alert your manager about your concerns. You may also need to ask for stronger PPE, such as darkened goggles or a full-face mask.

What should I do if I suffer from a loss of sight related injury?

No matter what type of personal injury you have suffered from, it is important that you seek help as quickly as possible. If you are in a public place, ask people or staff for help around you. For a store environment, ask for management or workers for assistance. Some of them may have first-aid experience. You should then ask for an ambulance to be called so you can have a medical professional to check you over. They can provide you with a medical report and ensure that the injuries are not any worse than they may initially appear.

With that being said, if you can collect evidence from the scene of the accident, this will help your case immensely. You should focus on obtaining the following evidence to prove physical, emotional and financial damages, as well as damage to property and loss of opportunity. Focus on finding the following:

Photographs
Videos/CCTV footage
Witness statements
Medical records
Police records
Diary entries

From there, you can make copies of this evidence to provide to your solicitor. They can organize it appropriately and ensure that it is used to back up your claims when a settlement agreement is arranged with the third party and their insurer.

How much compensation could I receive from a loss of sight claim?

When it comes to any type of personal injury claim, it’s important to know that the compensation pay-out is going to be different for every person. The best way to get an estimate about how much you could be owed in compensation is to speak to your solicitor. If you are suffering from serious injuries, it is more likely that you will end up claiming a higher amount of compensation than someone who has only suffered from minor injuries.

Take a look at the chart below to get an idea of how much you could be owed for your damages:

The best source to know how much you will receive is your solicitor. Your lawyer can make an estimate and work with you to create a settlement agreement. If you are happy to move forward with your claim, this settlement can presented to those responsible for your accident. If it is agreed on then you will receive that amount once the appropriate paperwork has been filed up.

However, if your landlord has ignored your alerts during an emergency situation, it’s important that you seek help through alternative means. After all, your landlord is guilty of negligence and seems to be refusing to help you in your time of need. This is when you may need the help of a solicitor to step in to help you.

All you have to do is get in contact with our Housing Disrepair specialists by phoning 0800 041 8350 or by clicking the button below:

Housing Disrepairs: What do I need to know about them?

Before we jump into what could classified as a housing disrepair emergency, let’s talk about housing disrepairs in general. When you move into a council flat or a property from the housing association, you expect it to be in good condition. This is due to the fact that a landlord in the UK has a “duty of care” towards their tenants. According to the UK Government’s website, your landlord must:

“Keep your rented properties safe and free from health hazards”

Your landlord is bound by health and safety guidelines that they must follow in order to keep any residents in their property safe. This is why if your home does fall into a state of disrepair, you have to speak to your landlord as quickly as possible. Your landlord is also responsible for the following:

As you can see, your landlord is responsible for the majority of your rented property. They own the building and any furniture that they have left inside the building. This includes any security or exterior gardens or balconies. That is why if something breaks or the property suffers from a housing disrepair, they need to get involved as quickly as possible to get it sorted. That way you can continue living in comfort in your home. If you do end up suffering from an emergency housing disrepair, it is up to your landlord to get it sorted as quickly as possible. That way you won’t be put in danger and the property will not become unsuitable to live in.

What is classified as a housing disrepair emergency?

Now that you understand that your landlord is responsible for the upkeep of your home, let’s talk about housing disrepairs in general. Most of the time, your home will suffer from small disrepairs that won’t take long to fix. However, you may be wondering to yourself what could classify as an emergency housing disrepair. If something breaks down and could cause you a serious injury, damage other parts of the house or belongings or makes it impossible for you to live in your home, your landlord should have the repairs sorted before the house ends up getting worse.

Examples of emergency housing disrepairs include:

Extreme mould and damp
Infestations
Holes in the floor or ceiling
Broken windows or doors
Faulty essential equipment (i.e. cookers, fridges, toilets, etc.)
Broken stairs
Destroyed security (i.e. lock)

These are only a few examples of the type of emergency repairs that you could have experienced. What matters is that your landlord needs to be contacted as soon as possible to ensure that the repair is dealt with. If they ignore your requests for help, this is when you should be thinking about making a housing disrepair claim as with an experienced law firm.

How could I be eligible for a Housing Disrepair Claim?

When your landlord refuses to help you sort out the disrepairs within your council home, it’s essential that you reach out to a solicitor instead. After all, they are the specialist that can give your landlord the push they need to take care of their responsibilities. You deserve to live in a home that’s comfortable for both you and your family.

To be eligible for compensation, you have to fall into one of these three damage categories:

It’s important to understand that you could fall into more than one of these categories. For instance, let’s say that a hole appeared in the upper floor of your house. Not only did that destroy some of your furniture underneath due to the impact, but you fell down and managed to break your leg. This caused a massive disturbance in your normal routine as not only you needed to recover from your injury, you found the room upstairs to be practically inaccessible. This caused an inconvenience to your general daily routine. Think carefully about the disrepairs that you have suffered. The extent of your repairs will affect the amount of compensation you could potentially be owed.

Make sure to speak to your solicitor about the circumstances behind your compensation claim. That way you can get the highest pay-out possible and your repairs sorted as quickly as possible.

How can a solicitor help you with an emergency Housing Disrepair Claim?

What is my landlord responsible for in my house?

Before you make any type of housing disrepair claim, it’s important to understand why your landlord is responsible for your home is in the first place. As your landlord is the person who owns the property, they will be the one who needs to pay for repairs. You are not responsible for the repairs because you are only renting the accommodation. Instead, you are only responsible for keeping the house in clean condition and in reasonable repair. If anything does break, you need to tell your landlord as quickly as possible to ensure that it is fixed. Your landlord is responsible for the following:

As you can see, what was listed is the majority of the internal and external structures of your property. Of course, it entirely depends on the size of your house, what sort of rooms you have, whether or not you have an outdoor space and what sort of furniture has been left within the property. Either way, if you have noticed a disrepair then it’s up to your landlord to have it fixed. If they fail to do so then they could be guilty of negligence.

How could my landlord be guilty of negligence?

If your have suffered from the negligence of your landlord, it is most likely it is due to the fact that your landlord has delayed the repairs for your claim. Now, it’s important that you give your landlord enough notice to get the repairs sorted them. Try not to be impatient as they may need to come around to your home and assess the damages themselves. They will then need to get a repair worker to come in and try and fix the damages. However, if you have been patient and your landlord has still left your disrepairs to get worse, then they could be guilty of negligence and neglect.

Examples of how your landlord could be guilty of negligence include:

You could be eligible to make a Housing Disrepair Claim if you have found that your landlord has not helped the situation. That’s why it is crucial that you keep evidence that you have tried to correspondence with your landlord about the problems in your home. This includes a copy of the letter you sent and any future correspondence between both of you. That way if your landlord has tried to force you to pay for the disrepairs, or has not fulfilled the obligation of fixing your repairs in a timely manner, you could show that they have tried to push you into something that was not your responsibility to fix.

How can I be eligible for a Housing Disrepair Claim?

Now that you understand that your landlord is responsible for fixing the repairs in your home, it’s crucial that you understand why you could be eligible for compensation. Just like any other personal injury claim or tax claim, the compensation will be provided if you have experienced damages. Similarly, for housing disrepair claims, there are three categories of damages that you could fall into. These include:

Keep in mind that when it comes to these types of categories, you can fall into more than one of them. For instance, let’s say that your bedroom is suffering from a mould problem. You may have ended up sleeping somewhere else to avoid it. This is an example of inconvenience. As you have asthma, the mould may have made it worse and you required additional assistance from the doctor. This is a personal injury. At the same time, the mould in your bedroom spread to your wardrobe and damaged your clothing. This is an example of damage to personal belongings.

When you speak with a solicitor, let them know what exactly has been damaged in your home. This can help them understand the extent of your case and how much compensation you could be potentially owed.

What should I expect if I am going to make a Housing Disrepair Claim?

The first thing you should do with any type of Housing Disrepair Claim is to speak to a solicitor. You will need to provide them your evidence and let them know the specifics of your claim. From there, they can start to organize the triage assessor to look over your house and check out the damages. Keep in mind that your solicitor will also inform your landlord that you intend to make a Housing Disrepair Claim. That way they can repair their own assessor to look into the damages. You should never keep your landlord in the dark about your housing disrepair claim. Instead, give them time to prepare. That way the proper steps can be taken to go through your claim and ensure that an accurate settlement agreement and repair schedule can be sorted.

To get a better idea about what to expect from your visit with Gowing Law’s triage assessor, you will be provided a leaflet that contains all of the essential information about what will happen after the visit. This includes these helpful steps about how we will move forward with your case:

As you can see, our solicitors will be working at the same time as the repair workers and your triage assessor to get you the compensation that you deserve. We understand that it’s equally important that you get a pay-out, as well as your repairs sorted. That’s why we will do our best to monitor the situation and ensure that any problems are taken care of quickly. This includes negotiating the settlement agreement with your landlord and filling out any tricky paperwork. You will always be informed about the latest decisions that are made in relation to your claim. Feel free to ask any questions at any time.

How long will it take to make a Housing Disrepair Claim?

Honestly, the length of your claim will depend on the complexity of your case. You can only make a claim if you still live in the residence. So make sure you start your case before you move out. With that said, you will have four years to make your claim from the time your disrepair was discovered. That’s why it’s crucial you speak with a solicitor as soon as possible to get started. The pandemic may also have an affect on your case due to the recent court delays and lockdowns. Your solicitor can give you a timeline of what to expect. However, keep in mind this may change if the circumstances of your case become more complicated.

What do I need to know about PPI Tax Claims?

Posted on July 16, 2021 by Hannah Fletcher - Blog, PPI Tax refunds, Uncategorised

Have you been recently thinking about PPI Tax Claims and the amount of compensation you could be owed? We understand. Here at Gowing Law Solicitors, we have helped people all over the UK get the pay-out that they deserve by making a PPI Tax Claim. Firstly, we know that these types of claims can seem a little daunting. After all, no one really enjoys making any type of tax claim on their own. It can be a tense experience, especially if you do not have the legal experience needed to understand what you could be owed. That’s why it’s crucial that you go to the right law firm and solicitor for support throughout your claim. Here at Gowing Law Solicitors, we will support you every step of the way throughout your claim.

Before you get started on your PPI Tax Claim with the help of our PPI Tax Claims specialists, we would recommend that you read this blog to understand the basics of your case. That way you can feel confident and ready to get started. For additional assistance with your claim, make sure to call Gowing Law Solicitors at 0800 041 8350 or visit our website below to learn more:

What is PPI?

PPI stands for Payment Protection Insurance. Originally it was intended as a safety net for people who decided to take out financial agreement. This included loans, credit cards, mortgages and catalogue payment schemes. The purpose of PPI was to provide a pay-out if you or your employees ended up getting ill, and were unable to pay back your debt or loan. However, in most cases, it was found that the amount of PPI that was paid out simply wasn’t enough to cover the debt. To be honest, in most cases it came up as short and clearly wasn’t worth paying for. That was why buyers felt unhappy that this policy was included in their payment scheme.

It was clear that PPI was a type of policy that was easily mis-sold to the public. For instance, it was bought by people who were self-employed or were going abroad, therefore it simply wasn’t needed. There were many other ways that the policy could have been mis-sold to you. Take a look at the infographic below for more details:

Many UK clients were outraged at the idea that they had been practically swindled out of their money. That was why the UK government issued a refund that clients could apply for. This was known as a PPI rebate. Unfortunately, you can no longer apply for a PPI pay-out. This is due to the fact that the deadline has passed. The only way that you could receive a PPI pay-out now is through exceptional circumstances.

Why didn’t I get the full amount of my PPI pay-out returned to me?

Ultimately, your PPI pay-out was made up of three things:

The amount of PPI that you have paid
Any interest your bank has added onto your PPI payments
A statutory interest of 8% every year

When you get a pay-out from any type of financial policy, the first thing that your bank is going to look at is your personal savings allowance (PSA.) Ultimately, to avoid being taxed you should try not to go over £12,500 a year. However, if you received a pay-out, there may have been be a suspicion that it pushed you over your PSA. Only your statutory interest can be taxed, therefore you may have lost part of your pay-out due to this financial category.

Now in some cases, having your tax taken from you may have been an honest mistake. However, in other cases there may have been an automatic deduction of 20% from your PPI pay-out. Sometimes your bank may not have even checked to see if you were actually over your PSA. That’s why it’s crucial that you start to make preparations to begin on your PPI tax to get your money back!

How do I prove that I am eligible for PPI Tax compensation?

When you first start looking into PPI tax claims, we understand that it can be a bit of a daunting prospect. After all, it can be a bit dry and you may feel unsure about where to get started. Honestly, that’s okay. It’s why you need to get in contact with a solicitor as quickly as possible to get personalized advice. That way you’re not asking yourself “How do you claim tax back on your PPI claims?” over and over again without an answer.

The main thing that you should be looking into is evidence. The evidence that you did not go over your PSA is vital when proving that you deserve to have the full amount of your PPI returned to you. Your evidence should be used to prove that you did not go over your PSA. It can include:

Bank statements
Correspondence with your bank or financial advisor
Wage slips
Your PPI pay-out receipt

If your solicitor will require more specific evidence then they will let you know, so don’t worry! Keep in mind that as they are working on your behalf then they may require more personal details so they can fill out the HMRC forms. Above all, be honest and open and you should get your pay-out returned to you in no time.

How much could you be owed through PPI Tax Claims?

You could be owed thousands in compensation through your PPI tax Claims. Each PPI tax claim is different. Honestly, the amount you receive will depend on the extent that you have paid into your PPI, as well as how much PPI tax was taken away from your pay-out. That’s why it’s crucial that you provide your solicitor with as much evidence as possible about your claim. They can provide you with an estimate of how much you could be owed, as well as how long it will take to get the pay-out that you deserve.

How long do I have to make PPI Tax Claims?

Overall, you will have around 4 years from the time that you received your PPI pay-out. So, if you received your PPI pay-out in 2016, you will have till 2020 to get compensation for your mis-sold PPI tax. That’s why it’s crucial that you get in contact as quickly as possible to speak to your solicitor. Due to the backlog of UK court cases and the current pandemic there may be delays when it comes to pay-outs. Therefore, you need to give your solicitor the maximum amount of time of get your compensation. That way if anything goes wrong, or is subject to delay, it can be sorted quickly and effectively.

How can my solicitor help me with my PPI tax claims?

That’s why we want to help and support you in any way that we can. Not only can we offer you free advice, but your solicitor can speak to HMRC on your behalf.

Brain Injuries: Did the lockdown have an effect on your recovery?

Posted on July 13, 2021 by Hannah Fletcher - Accidents in Public, Blog, Covid-19, Personal Injury Claims, Uncategorised

When you have a personal injury claim, the first thing that you tend to think about is the amount of compensation that you could be owed. However, with brain injuries, the first thing that you should be focused on is your recovery. These type of personal injuries can be extremely serious. They have consequences that can continuously affect your life over the upcoming months. It was not your fault that you got hurt. Whether it was due to a work accident or perhaps a criminal incident where you were hurt on the street, you will require help and medical support to try and get you back on your feet. Unfortunately, throughout the pandemic and the lockdown, you may have found that the isolation did you most harm than good.

Brain injuries need a variety of medical techniques and medication to help solve. Therefore, if you were told to stay inside your home away from other people, the lack of company and stimulation may have made your injuries much worse, especially if your isolation made it impossible to collect your medication. It’s important that you receive compensation for your losses, especially if you have suffered from a personal injury. Gowing Law Solicitors can support you through this difficult time.

Personal Injury Claims and the lockdown

The pandemic has played havoc with all areas of life all over the UK. It has affected our social lives, our personal lives and our working lives. We have a responsibility to protect those who are vulnerable. That’s why it’s crucial that we adhere to social distancing laws and regulations. However, we do understand the great sacrifices that many people have made to protect those they love. Things can get a little complicated if you have suffered from a personal injury and have been asked to stay at home.

Personal injuries, especially brain injuries, require supervision and medication in order to help them improve. However, it may have been difficult for these medical specialists to come to your house, or for you to go and visit them. In turn, this may have meant that your injuries worsened. Not only that but if you were alone, and required communication to improve the damages you have suffered, you may have regressed.

If you have suffered from a personal injury claim and are trying to recover during the lockdown or pandemic, take a look at the infographic below to get a better idea of how you can cope during this difficult time. We’ve provided some tips that can help you move forward on the road to recovery:

In terms of personal injury claims, brain injuries tend to be very specific and have lasting damages that could affect the victim for the rest of their lives. Some brain trauma can be less serious than other types, however it is still essential that treatment is received as quickly as possible. Brain injury symptoms could include:

Of course, these are only a few examples of symptoms that could show you have suffered from a traumatizing brain injury. Additional examples may include spinal trauma or paralysis. It all depends on the extent of the accident and how bad your injuries actually are. This will also affect your future compensation claim. So, keep that in mind when you reach out for legal help.

If you do end up getting hurt and suffer from a brain injury, it’s important that you get a diagnosis from your doctor as quickly as possible. They can also provide you with a medical report that can prove that you have been hurt during your compensation claim. That’s why it’s crucial that you seek medical assistance as quickly as possible.

How could I be eligible for a personal injury claim with a brain injury?

When you make a personal injury claim, you are holding someone else responsible for your accident. For instance, if you were injured at work, the person responsible for the negligence would have been due to your manager. So, if you are going to make a personal injury claim, you need to know who was responsible for your injuries. That way you know who to make the compensation claim against. From there, you need to prove that they were responsible for your safety, therefore they were neglectful when it came to protecting you. This is known as a “duty of care.” Of course, you cannot claim compensation from a single person who is not insured.

Some examples of people who are responsible for your safety may include:

Your employer
A shop owner
Your local authority
A vehicle owner
Your landlord

If you are feeling confused about who was responsible for your injuries, you can speak to your solicitor about the details of your case. Your main aim is to prove that you were not responsible for your brain injuries. That’s why you deserve to be compensated for your losses. Just don’t forget that your eligibility, and the amount of compensation, could also be determined by the additional losses that you have suffered due to your brain injuries. This can include:

Brain Injuries & Lockdown: Will it affect my personal injury claim?

As you may have already discovered, the lockdown has had its ups and downs. It has left many people feeling isolated and alone during their time of need. If you have suffered from brain injuries and have been forced to isolate, it may have ultimately slowed down your treatment. Of course, it was not the fault of medical provider that they needed to delay your treatment. However, it could potentially be a sign of negligence if you requests for assistance were repeatedly ignored.

It is the responsibility of your health care provider to assist you with your recovery. That’s why you may be entitled to a larger amount of compensation if your symptoms do end up getting worse. Think about this carefully and speak to your solicitor. After all, the pandemic is an event that is completely unique. Therefore, the extent of your compensation may depend on your own personal injuries and the extent of the damage you have experienced.

Make sure to provide evidence of your Brain Injuries for your case!

If you genuinely believe that the isolation of the pandemic has worsened your brain injuries, it’s essential that you have proof to back up your claim. That way you can show that you were a victim of negligence. You required assistance to help with your brain injury, yet your appointments may have been cancelled or specialists may have refused to help you altogether. If you believe you could be entitled to compensation, it’s essential that you have the right evidence to prove your case. That way you can show the type of damages you have suffered are not exaggerated.

Examples of evidence include:

Photographs
Videos
Witness Statements
Medical Reports
Police Reports
Correspondence with other parties
Receipts
Diary Entries

Once you have collected your evidence, make sure to take copies of it. That way you can file it away for safe keeping. You should provide your solicitor the evidence so that they can move forward with your case. From there, they can speak to the other parties on your behalf. They can also help you come to a settlement agreement together. That way you can relax and recover from the trauma that you have experienced.

How much compensation could I be owed from brain injuries?

When it comes to compensation for personal injury claims, there is no set amount. Each case is going to be different and therefore have a different compensation pay-out. This depends on the extent of your damages, injuries and the level of negligence that you have experienced. Speak to your solicitor to receive an estimate about your own personal injury claim. It’s the best way to understand how much you could be entitled to.

How long will it take to claim personal injury compensation?

Again, this depends on your own personal circumstances and the complexity of your case. The pandemic has had a negative effect on the courts. Therefore there is a chance that your case could experience delays. This is due to a backlog of court cases. Speak to your solicitor for more information about a potential timeline. They can help you understand what you should expect and keep you updated on the most recent events concerning your claim.

Why do I need photographic evidence to prove my Housing Disrepair Claim?

Posted on July 8, 2021 by Hannah Fletcher - Blog, Covid-19, Housing Disrepair Claims, Uncategorised

If you are making a Housing Disrepair Claim, you are trying to prove that your landlord has refused to help fix the damages within your council home. It is the responsibility of your landlord to ensure that you live in a habitable home that’s safe enough for you and your family to spend in time.

If the house is suffering from damages, you need to get them sorted as quickly as possible. The longer you leave them, the more likely it is that they are going to get worse, or potentially cause additional damages to your belongings and property. That’s why it is crucial that you take photographic evidence of the damages to prove that you are not exaggerating the extent of the disrepairs. Instead, you should collect evidence of the damages to give to your solicitor to build your case. It’s time for you to receive the compensation that you deserve and to have your disrepairs finally fixed!

Gowing Law Solicitors will be there to support you on this difficult journey. Not only can we provide you with solid advice, but all of our consultations are completely free. If you have any questions about making a housing disrepair claim, you can get in contact with our specialists at any time. Feel free to call us on 0800 041 8350 or use the button below to visit our Housing Disrepair Claims website:

What are the basics of housing disrepairs?

Before we jump into the evidence of your housing disrepair claim, let’s take a moment to discuss the basics of housing disrepairs in general. Whether you live in a council house or a property provided by the housing association, a landlord is responsible for the external structures, internal structures and belongings within the household. This includes any furniture that may have already been in the house. Take a look below at the image to get a better idea of what your landlord is responsible for keeping in good repair within your home:

When you notice a disrepair, it’s crucial that inform your landlord as quickly as possible about it. This is due to the fact that you are required to provide your landlord notice. Ultimately, you need to provide them time to actually assess the damages and find an engineer who can fix this. It may also entail them coming to the property to see the damages for themselves. So, be prepared to give them access to your house. That or you should let them know an appropriate time to come visit.

Photographic Evidence: Why do I need it?

When your home is suffering from disrepairs, the first thing you want to do is prove that you are not exaggerating the extent of your damages. This is why photographic evidence can be crucial when it comes to proving your case, especially if you go on to make a housing disrepair claim. Take a look at the infographic below to learn why photographs are going to be some of the most useful evidence that you have:

By taking a picture, your main objective is to show evidence of the disrepairs in all their glory. You need to prove that they are being ignored by your landlord. That is what will make up the foundation of your housing disrepair claim. After all, if there is an image of the damages then you landlord will not be able to say they are exaggerated. Instead, it may prove the case that your landlord is guilty of negligence. This is due to the fact that they have allowed for the disrepairs to worsen without taking action. They have broken their “duty of care.” Even during the pandemic and recent lockdown, they had a responsibility towards you and need to be held accountable for the disrepairs.

What other types of evidence could I use to prove that I have a housing disrepair claim?

If you are thinking about making a housing disrepair claim to have your repairs finally taken care of by your landlord, it’s important to understand that there is more evidence out there than just photographs to prove your claim. Ultimately, you are looking to claim for different types of damages that you have gone through. This includes physical damages (aka. injuries), property damage, general inconvenience, financial damages, technology damages and loss of opportunity. For each damage you claim, it’s crucial that you have some form of evidence to back it up. So, if you suffered from emotional and physical damages, you may decide to go to a doctor. That way you can receive a medical report or you could speak to a witness who can back up your claims.

The main forms of evidence can include, but are not limited to:

Photographs
Videos
Witness statements
Damaged belongings
Medical reports
Police reports
Receipts
Wage slips
Diary entries
Correspondence with your landlord
The letter of notice about the damages

Once you have found your evidence, make sure to take copies of it and file it away accordingly. That way when you get started on your housing disrepair claim, you can have it sorted out ready for your lawyer to look over.

What will make me eligible for a housing disrepair claim?

We understand that it can be frustrating to be left with disrepairs in your home. You are not responsible for fixing them. It should be your landlord that takes the appropriate steps to pay for the repair work. That’s why you may have decided that the best way forward is to get started on a housing disrepair claim. This is where Gowing Law Solicitors can step in to help you.

Your claim must fall into one of these three categories for you to be eligible for compensation from your landlord:

Keep in mind that it is possible that you fall into more than one of these categories. For instance, if your bedroom was suffering from a mould issue, you could say that the mould damaged your clothes and belongings. At the same time, you found it was impossible to sleep in the room. This was due to the growing mould, meaning that you were inconvenienced. As you suffered from asthma, the mould ended making it worse. That meant you had to go to hospital to have your personal injury sorted by a doctor. In this situation, you can see that it falls into all three categories. That’s why the best person to speak to about your eligibility is your solicitor.

Why is it important that I inform my landlord about my Housing Disrepair?

Posted on July 6, 2021 by Hannah Fletcher - Blog, Covid-19, Housing Disrepair Claims, Uncategorised

As the victim of a Housing Disrepair, your first instinct should be to try and get it fixed. You don’t want to live in a home that is full of problems. By living in a house that is full of disrepairs, it is undoubtedly going to affect your quality of life sooner or later. Worse still, during the lockdown you may have found that some of the rooms in your property were simply uninhabitable. That meant you could not go into the room or else it could cause a personal injury or destroy some of your property. You didn’t deserve to live like this. That’s why it’s crucial that you ask for repairs to be made as quickly as possible. If your landlord refuses to help you, you could be eligible to make a compensation claim.

Here at Gowing Law Solicitors, we understand that making a compensation claim on your own can be a daunting prospect. That’s why our solicitors are determined to get you the pay-out that you deserve. Don’t leave your claim or repairs till the last minute. Get them sorted now by calling 0800 041 8350 or by visiting our website below:

What do I need to know about Housing Disrepairs?

Unfortunately, if you live in a council house or property from the housing association, it’s likely that it’s going to be very old and built either in the 1950’s or 1980’s. That means it’s more likely to be suffering from disrepairs or from asbestos, mould and damp. You will be renting your landlord. Now, your landlord is responsible for your safety whilst you live in the house. This is known as a “duty of care.” If something ends up breaking, then it is their job to fix it. Take a look at the list below to get a better idea of the things in your home that your landlord is responsible for:

As you can see, all of the things listed will already be in the house or will be a service linked to it, such as security. However, if there is furniture inside your apartment, keep in mind that if any of those fall into disrepair, it will be up to the landlord to have them removed and potentially replaced, especially if they are essential objects like a fridge or a cooker. Your landlord is ultimately responsible for making sure that your house remains in a habitable state. If it does fall into disrepair, they will need to organize the appropriate repair person or engineer come in and assess the damage. If they refuse to help or acknowledge the issues.

What should I do if I have a Housing Disrepair?

If your home is suffering from a housing disrepair, the first thing you should do is speak to your landlord about the issues. Your landlord should be the first person that you inform as they have the power to fix it. Informing your landlord will also be crucial to your housing disrepair claim if you do end up being forced to make one in the future. Make sure to let your landlord know about the disrepair in both writing and through an email correspondence. That way you can ensure that you have proof that you did your best to inform them about the disrepair. You should also take pictures or video evidence of the disrepairs to show that you are not exaggerating what has happened.

From there, it is up to your landlord to assess the damages and to send someone over to have them repaired. They should not ignore your messages or tell you that you are responsible for having them fixed. As they own your apartment or council home, they are the ones that need to ensure the repairs are undertaken in a timely manner. Just keep in mind that you will need to give them enough time to actually go through with the repairs. Do not rush them but do keep in contact to ensure that they are completed.

Why do I need to give my landlord notice about my Housing Disrepairs?

When you tell your landlord about your housing disrepair, it’s essential that you do it as soon as you discover the problem. This is known as “giving notice” to your landlord. It is essential that you give notice to your landlord. That way you can give them the time they need to actually get the repair fixed. Honestly, if you hurry your landlord, this could affect your case. So try to be patient as they do their work.

To give your landlord notice is to give them time to enter your property, assess the damage and come to a conclusion about whether or not they should send someone over to fix the damage. If you rush them then they could claim that you are not giving them enough time to do their job. This is also why it’s crucial that you let them know about the disrepair in both writing and through electronic correspondence. Quite a few of our clients will let their landlord know about disrepairs through a phone call. However, this may not be enough evidence to show that you gave your landlord notice about the disrepairs.

If your landlord fails to help you with the disrepairs, despite being giving notice and the time to check them over, you could be eligible for compensation through a housing disrepair claim. This includes your landlord ignoring your messages for help or ultimately demanding that you pay for the damages that are their responsibility.

How could I be eligible for a Housing Disrepair Claim?

If you have been told by your landlord that they cannot help you with the damages in your home, or they are demanding that you pay for the damages, you do not have to put up with this. Instead, it’s time for you to start looking into a housing disrepair claim. The amount of compensation that you will receive from this type of claim will depend on how long the disrepairs have existed and the extent of your landlord’s negligence.

To be eligible to claim, you need to fit in at least one of these three categories:

Keep in mind that these categories are interchangeable. So, you could have experienced all three! For instance, a mould problem could mean that you are unable to use a certain area of your house. This is inconvenience. The mould spreads to your furniture and clothing. This is an example of damage to personal belongings. As you have asthma, the mould began to make it worsen. That meant you had to go to the hospital for treatment. This is an example of a personal injury. You should speak through your damages with a solicitor to ensure that you are claiming the highest amount of compensation possible. After all, there are many different types of damages that you could claim for. This includes emotional damages, financial damages, damage to property and loss of opportunity.

Let your lawyer know what you have been through and they will be able to help!

Your landlord does have the right to send over their own assessor to your home. So, expect a lot of company over the course of a few weeks. Just keep in mind, if you do end up getting a notification from track and trace or you end up experience Covid-19 symptoms, you will have to notify your solicitor and landlord as quickly as possible.

Housing Disrepair Claims & Covid-19: What should I do if I have to isolate?

Posted on July 5, 2021 by Hannah Fletcher - Blog, Covid-19, Housing Disrepair Claims, Uncategorised

Here at Gowing Law Solicitors, we understand that the pandemic has been extremely difficult for our clients to cope with. Now we are past a full year, it can feeling tiring to adhere to social-distancing guidelines and you may be a bit burned out from it all. However, it’s essential that we try our best to keep going. That way we can protect our loved ones from Covid-19. So, what should you do if you have been told to isolate but are currently looking into Housing Disrepair Claims? Well, the first thing is don’t panic! We can help you sort out this situation so you can still get the repairs needed to ensure that you live in comfort.

To find out more about Housing Disrepair Claims and how you can ensure you can get the compensation pay-out that you deserve, you should speak to Gowing Law Solicitors as quickly as possible. You can do this by calling 0800 041 8350 or by visiting our website below:

The Basics of Housing Disrepair: What do you need to know?

Before we move on to how to protect yourself and our solicitors during the pandemic, let’s take a moment to discuss the basics of Housing Disrepair Claims and what you need to know about them. When you live in a council house or a property provided by a housing association, it is the responsibility of your landlord to ensure that it is in a habitable condition. That means they need to ensure that it is safe for you and your family to live in. Ultimately, this is known as a “duty of care”, meaning they are responsible for your health in relation to the provided home. If they fail to do this then they could be guilty of negligence, especially if you get hurt due to the disrepairs.

Take a look below for a better idea of what areas of your home your landlord is responsible for:

It’s essential that when you notice a disrepair that you report it to your landlord as quickly as possible. This needs to be in both writing and through an email correspondence. You should also include any photographs. This is to prove that the disrepair happened and was entirely out of your control. You could claim your landlord is guilty of negligence if they ignore your messages, refuse to acknowledge the disrepair, allow the disrepair to get worse or even tell you that you need to get the repairs financed through your own pocket. This is when you should go to a solicitor for help.

What could make me eligible for making Housing Disrepair Claims?

If you have been suffering from a Housing Disrepair and there is no indication that your landlord is interested in helping you fix it, it is time for you to start looking into Housing Disrepair Claims. You may be wondering what could actually make you eligible for compensation. Well, there are three main categories that you can fall into. These are:

Now, it’s okay to fall into more than one of these categories. After all, everyone’s living situation is going to be different. For instance, let’s say that there was a damp and mould problem in your home. The mould could have caused damage to your clothing or furniture. However, in terms of personal injuries, it may have also caused you breathing issues that you needed to go to the hospital to get sorted out. This caused an inconvenience to your daily life because not only could you not use the room that had the mould in it, but it also means you have to interrupt your daily schedule to go to the hospital.

Your solicitor can help you understand what you could claim for. Every situation is different and they will make sure that you get personalized advice to ensure you get a positive outcome, including the repairs you need to live in comfort. After all, if you do get a notice to isolate then you don’t want to do this whilst living with a disrepair.

What will happen if I make a Housing Disrepair Claim?

Once you have settled on the idea that you are going to make a Housing Disrepair Claim, you may feel curious about what is going to happen next. After speaking with our solicitors, we will start on the compensation process and will speak with your landlord. At the same time, an assessor will be sent to your home in order to assess the damages. This assessor will provide you with a leaflet that will detail more information about what you could expect in the future whilst making a claim. Here is the process you will find in our leaflet:

What should I do if I have to isolate before I get started on my Housing Disrepair Claim?

This is where things may get a little tricky. The first thing we would like to say is that it is not your fault. You are not to blame for isolating due to Covid-19 or being exposed to someone with Covid-19. However, it is your responsibility to inform your solicitor. You must also tell your landlord that you have been confirmed to have Covid-19 or have received a notification to isolate at home. You cannot have people over at your home if you are isolating from Covid-19. Instead, you will need to be patient and acknowledge that it may take a little longer to have the repairs sorted in your home.

In the meantime, keep taking pictures of the damages and take the advice of your solicitor to prevent any further disrepairs from happening. There is a chance as well that a video tour could be arranged as well that could involve your landlord, their assessor, your solicitor and your own triage assessor. That way the process can still continue but it can be conducted at a safe distance. Any feedback or reports can then be discussed over the video call. They can even be sent to you through email. That way no germs can be spread between person-to-person. You and any third parties involved in the process can continue to work on your claim but remain safe throughout it.

In the meantime, here are some ways that you can make the isolation process a little easier. We know it can be hard if you are stuck inside, especially if you are on your own.

Additional Advice:

Stay away from the affected area of your home as much as you can
Open all the windows to ensure that it is well-ventilated
If you have a garden or balcony, try and spend time on there to get fresh air
Stay warm with hot water bottles
If you are suffering from breathing difficulties, lie on your stomach to try and get some rest
Have your groceries delivered by a friend, relative or a delivery service
Keep your house clean and tidy- That way you can try to stem any mould or damp problems.
Make sure to try and do at least 15 minutes of exercise to keep yourself active around your home

For more advice, make sure to visit the NHS website. That way you can keep updated about the latest advice from the government.
