Sure. It'll be an at-fault claim, since there's nobody else to claim from, and £400 is unlikely to be far above your excess, even before future premium rises and loss of NCB are taken into account...

I still think the owner of the property has some liability.

Under the Environmental Protection Act - Waste Management it says:

Waste left for collection
2.7 Waste left for collection outside premises should be in containers that are strong and secure
enough to resist not only wind and rain but also animal disturbance, especially for food waste. All
containers left outside for collection will therefore need to be secured or sealed. For example,
drums with lids, bags tied up, skips covered. To minimise the risks, waste should not be left
outside for collection longer than is necessary. Waste should only be put out for collection on or
near the advertised collection times.
