It would be interesting to know whether the 'injury' happened before or after they were informed you weren't happy they had decorated... tit for tat?0

There are two separate issues here. Let's assume that the tenant was actually injured by the radiator.
1. Was the fact the radiator fell off the wall and injured the tenant your responsibility? In other words, had you, as LL, rented out a property with a radiator that was just waiting to fall on someone, or did the tenant tamper with it and make it unsafe? What does the report from the plumber say? As mentioned above, is there purple paint behind the radiator, suggesting it was removed by the tenant?
2. My understanding is that most personal injury cases are about loss of earnings. How much earnings is the tenant saying he lost because he was unable to work? What does the solicitor's letter say about the amount they are trying to claim?0
