Supermarket Accident Compensation Claims

By far the majority of injuries sustained in a supermarket accident result from a slip, trip or fall.

Supermarkets like Tesco, Morrison's & Sainsbury's have a duty of care to customers and as soon as you enter their premises they have a responsibility for your well-being. So if you have had an slip and fall accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be eligible to make a personal injury compensation claim against the Supermarket.

Our accident and personal injury solicitors specialise in supermarket injury compensation and will pursue a claim for you on a 100% No Win, No Fee basis. We are able to claim compensation from a slip and trip injury sustained slipping on spilt food or a discarded wrapper, falling over obstacles left on the floor, being hit by goods falling from the shelves and lots more incidents.

Even if you think your trip and fall accident was trivial, if you have suffered an injury that wasn’t your fault you can make a claim against a supermarket.

Accidents often occur in supermarkets (like Tesco, Asda & Morrisons) causing personal injury. This is an example of a case to help clarify the process involved in making a compensation claim against a supermarket.

Our client (the claimant) was in his local supermarket shopping. It was a quick visit to pick up some milk and a couple of other items. As he reached over to pick up the milk he slipped on a wet floor and fell forwards striking his head on the corner of a display cabinet.

The Supermarket wet floor had been caused by a leaky milk bottle and there were no warnings that the floor was wet. The claimant suffered a deep cut to his head that required several stitches as well as an injury to his wrist and arm. When the claimant called Pinto Potts solicitors for advice to perhaps make a claim for compensation. We confirmed that he had a claim for compensation against the supermarket.

We negotiated with the insurers of the supermarket and after a dispute over liability they accepted that the accident was the fault of their supermarket for not displaying a 'wet floor' sign.

We then presented the medical evidence we had obtained from the specialist we had arranged for the claimant to visit and quickly received an offer of £8000 by way of compensation.

Given the nature of the injuries our experts felt a figure in the region of £12000 would be more appropriate and after further negotiations the insurers agreed to increase their offer to this exact figure.
