Am I at risk of being sued by my cleaner given she was injured in my flat? If your cleaner decided to make a claim, she would typically have three years from the date of the incident to do so. For example, undisclosed leaks making the bath unusually slippery, surface defects, or spilled bath oils could create a trap for the unwary cleaner. If your cleaner did claim, then she would need medical evidence to support the injuries complained of. One possible argument the cleaner could pursue is that the bath was excessively slippery, and it wasn’t obvious to her.
