If you’ve been injured in a supermarket due to a slip, trip, or fall, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Our solicitors provide clear advice and guide you through the legal process step by step, with no upfront costs to begin your claim.
A supermarket accident claim is a personal injury claim made when a customer is injured because the store failed to keep its premises reasonably safe.
Supermarkets have a legal duty to regularly inspect aisles, clean spillages, repair hazards, and warn customers of potential risks. When this duty is breached and an injury occurs, a compensation claim may arise.
Supermarket accidents commonly happen due to:
Spilled liquids or food on floors
Wet floors without warning signs
Loose packaging or debris in aisles
Uneven flooring or damaged tiles
Poor lighting
Cluttered walkways or end-of-aisle displays
