quiet happy to explain,

The day we go round using inanimate objects and start to think they are somehow to blame for us not being careful is a sad day.

She went to clean the glass, the glass broke. was it her fault of the glass's, well only one of them was moving and it didnt break itself. its an accident, and you cant prove otherwise.

You will immediatly get peoples backs up by wanting to claim compensation, its pretty pathetic in alot of peoples eyes and just shows you accept no responsibility for your own actions.

There are valid reasons to claim compensation but i dont think this is remotely close, no other party was involved here, so why is anyone to blame?

maybe you can get legal aid too!

off to walk round the house with my eyes shut, see you in marbella!

Was this written by a child or someone who is drunk? I came for advice and i got some, your comments are totally ridiculous. I am sure my girlfriend intended to put her hand through the glass and jeapordise her career. (that is called sarcasim by the way) I make no apology for having high standards and having things done right. Hope you don't have an accident walking round your house with your eyes closed.

have you been drinking or are you a child?

I cant wait for the landlords letter to arrive for the costs of damage to his property,

He has more chance than you do.

good luck.

I just pulled this of a website, give them a ring 0800 092 8586 and see what they say you have got nothing to loose, ive dealt with claims through work and most cases will not be took on as there is not enough evidence, or witnesses, but its always worth a try.

I personally dont think you will be able to claim, as with all claims these companies they will only take them on if they are water tight, your landlord could say you damaged the glass, and it was perfect before you moved in.

A claim for accident at home compensation, following a personal injury, can be pursued more often than you might think.
If you have been injured at home due to a fault in something you have bought, then you are entitled to receive accident compensation. It may be an electrical appliance that caught fire and burned you, or a piece of furniture that collapsed when you were sitting on it. If you were using the item as intended and it caused you an injury, then you are entitled to make a claim for compensation against the manufacturer, or the person who sold it to you.
For more information on making a claim for compensation if a defective or faulty product view our faulty product compensation section here.
Accidents in the home

When work is carried out on your home, you do not expect it to cause you any injuries, yet every year substandard workmanship is the cause of accidents in the home for many people. Double glazing fittings can come loose and fall on people and newly fitted floors can pose a tripping hazard. Any personal injuries caused by unsatisfactory work carried out on your home can form the basis for a an accident at home compensation claim.
Council tenants or people living in rented accommodation that is not properly maintained can also make a claim for personal injuries compensation if they have been injured as a result of the poor condition of the property they are living in.
Remember, if you have been injured at home through no fault of your own then it is only fair that you are compensated for the pain, injuries and inconvenience you have suffered.

Your sig. alerted me to something. I did get some advice and i was thankfull for that but i do not wish to be patronised and i was quite polite and respectful in my comments to you. If you had simply given me advice that would have be fine. But you didn't, hence my response.

Thanks for your response
I was not being patronising towards you - perhaps a little blunt however i feel that the direct way is the best way. It avoids confusion.
As regards my signature - I am an Estate Agent with a legal background (usual MSE disclaimers etc apply) and therefore have given you the advise which you asked for in your initial post. The fact that I am an EA makes no difference to your situation - how do you feel that it makes me biased in any way? Even if i was a letting agent (which im not) giving you the facts of the matter would not make me biased towards you. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding

Considering he replaced the pane of glass the next day and was very apologetic, i doubt it. Please don't comment on things you quite clearly have no knowledge of. Your attempts at comedy aren't very good either

The comment 'tell your girlfriend to be more careful' was quite patronising. Thanks for your other input.

Thanks for your reply. All i wanted was the facts. Others seem to try and be funny etc. I don't understand why some people need so much attention...

Stop making a fool of yourself

truman_sparks

I think you the one making a fool of yourself,

I will make it simple for you; If you want to restrict what replies you get, dont post on a public forum. simple enough?

so to summerize;

MY girlfriend WAS cleaning the glass door

HER pinky WENT through the pane

SHE damaged tendons

After some physio SHE IS OK

I WANT HER to go and see citizen's advice or a solicitor for DAMAGES



like i say, come back and tell us how much you "win".
