Under the Occupier's Liability Act, the occupant does not owe a duty of care to a trespasser on the occupier's premesis (Sec. 12(1)) If the trespasser is injured due to reckless and willful conduct of the occupant, yes, then the trespasser can sue. But injuring youself by breaking in? Unlikely that it'd go through.
