Suffered injury in a supermarket accident that was not your fault?  If someone else is to be blamed for the pain and suffering you have been through, you may be eligible to make supermarket injury claims and seek compensation.  At InjuryClaims.co.uk, we have solicitors who are experts in all areas of the personal injury law and have years of experience helping victims of supermarket accidents obtain the highest level of compensation that they are entitled to.  So if you have suffered injuries due to the negligence of someone else, we can help you make a claim.

Supermarket Accidents – Who Is Responsible?

The owner of the supermarket has a duty of care towards its customers and any person entering the premises.  According to the Occupiers Liability Act of 1957, it is the responsibility of the occupier of the premises to take preventative measures in order to minimise potential risks of accidents and injuries.  They must make sure that their premises is safe for all those people who come there as visitors or customers.  Although it is not possible to eliminate all risks of accidents occurring in the supermarket, reasonable steps must be taken to see that the premises are safe.

If you have suffered injuries in a supermarket accident due to the occupier of the supermarket failing to take adequate care of your health and safety, you may be entitled for compensation through supermarket injury claims.  However, if the shop has a reasonable system to carry out regular checks and they are able to prove this fact, then you are unlikely to have a valid supermarket injury claim for compensation.

What To Do Following A Supermarket Injury?

If you were unlucky enough to suffer personal injuries in a supermarket accident, you must make sure that:

• You get the details of the accident recorded in the supermarket accident book.  All supermarkets keep an accident book in which they record the details of accidents that take place within the supermarket premises.
• Get contact details of witnesses.  It is a good idea to obtain phone numbers and names of witness present at the time of the accident because they can be used to verify the accident when making supermarket accident claims.
• Take photographs of the accident scene.  If it is possible, you must take photographs of the accident scene with a camera or with a camera phone.  For example, if you tripped over an obstacle, you must take photographs to demonstrate what the cause of the accident was.
• You seek medical attention – slips trips and falls accidents occurring at the supermarket can have severe effects.  If you have suffered injuries as a result of the accident, you must get your injuries examined in a hospital.  Make sure you retain medical bills and details of other costs in order to make a successful supermarket injury claim.
