Supermarket Accident & Injury Compensation

Have You Suffered an Injury Due To Negligent or Hazardous Conditions in a Supermarket?

The absolute last thing we expect to happen when going out for our weekly groceries is to suffer a permanent long-term injury; however, slips and trips are common and sustaining a serious injury as a result of another person or an organisation’s negligence can be life-changing.

Regulation state that spillages or dangerous tripping hazards must be cleaned up and identifiable to the public, whilst being cleaned up as soon as possible. If you have been injured in a supermarket due to lack of hygiene, and/or bad health and safety practices, then you may be entitled to compensation. Your compensation entitlement will depend on whether the organisation or person involved acted negligently; and whether that negligence lead to you being injured.
