While there can be no doubt that we all have a responsibility to ensure that we are careful while on another person's property, it is also true that if a person suffers injury in an accident on the property of another person that was caused by some unobvious hazard, he or she may have reasonable grounds for contacting a no win, no fee solicitor.
Perhaps the groups most at risk of this kind of garden path/walkway accident are delivery professionals such as couriers and postmen, as well as door-to-door sales people.
The idea that a property owner might receive a writ from a no win, no fee solicitor outlining the case for compensation relating to an accident on his or her property will always be a contentious one, particularly if the individual who sustained injury was uninvited onto the property in the first place.
Yet the law does indeed make provisions for this kind of situation in the form of the Occupiers' Liability Act.
Unfortunately, accidents on private property involving the professionals mentioned above are relatively commonplace and frequently result in payouts of compensation. For example, just this year a post worker received a four-figure sum of compensation after slipping on the steps of London residency while on her usual delivery round - it certainly pays to have slip resistant materials on steps and walkways.
And since the Occupiers' Liability Act states that homeowners have a responsibility to ensure that visitors are "reasonably safe", it is always best to err on the side of caution, ensuring pathways are clear of trip hazards, surfaces are slip resistant and sharp objects remain out of harm's way.
Homeowners should be wary of other hazards too. For example, in recent years several postmen have received dog bite compensation after being attacked by dogs, such as the postmen who received £4,750 after being bitten on the genitals while on his rounds in West Yorkshire.
