Supermarket Accident Compensation Claims

Spills on supermarket floors can lead to accidents and injuries. If you have been injured in a supermarket accident, read on for information about making a claim.

Have you had an accident at a supermarket?
If you have been involved in an accident at a supermarket which was not your fault, and have suffered a personal injury as a result of the supermarket accident, you may be entitled to make a supermarket accident compensation claim.

Whether you had your accident in a large or small supermarket, if the accident was not your fault, you should contact our specialist personal injury solicitors to find out if you are eligible to make a 'no win no fee' supermarket claim.

Supermarkets have a duty of care
As with any type of shop, supermarkets have a duty of care to ensure people are safe whilst shopping on the premises, which may also include the supermarket car park. Therefore if you slip on a wet floor, trip over an obstacle in the aisle, are hit by a falling item or trip due to a pothole in the car park, you may be entitled to make a no win no fee claim for the injuries you have suffered.

What to do if you are involved in a supermarket accident
If you are involved in a supermarket accident, there are a few things you can do which will help to aid your potential supermarket accident compensation claim:

• Report your accident to the store manager
  Firstly you should report your supermarket accident to the manager of the store, or to the customer service desk.
  
  
• Complete an accident report form
  When reporting your accident the supermarket should ask you to fill out an accident report form. However, if the supermarket does not do this, you should ask them to make sure the accident is recorded in the accident book.
  
  
• Obtain witnesses contact details
  If there are any witnesses to your supermarket accident, try to ask for the names and contact details of the witnesses.
  
  
• Take photograhs, if possible
  If possible you should also try to take photographs of what has caused your accident in the supermarket. Whether it is a spillage on the floor, a pallet left unattended in the aisle or a sign that has fallen from the supermarket ceiling.

By gathering evidence of the accident through photographs and witness details, you will stand a better chance of being successful in making a supermarket compensation claim.
