A housing disrepair settlement does not always resolve a personal injury claim.

Housing disrepair and personal injury claims can involve different losses. A disrepair claim may focus on repairs, inconvenience, damaged belongings or loss of use of part of the home. A personal injury claim may focus on injury, illness, treatment, care and the effect on daily life.

However, the position will depend on the terms of any settlement already reached. If a settlement agreement included all claims, or was worded broadly, this may affect whether anything further can be pursued.

Havard Law Solicitors can review any settlement documents and explain the position.
