Shopping accident claims

All business owners must follow strict rules set out in The Occupiers' Liability Act 1957. This legislation gives them a legal requirement to protect your health and safety while you're on their premisese. In other words, every shop has a duty of care to you and all its other customers.

IIf the owner or manager of a store has failed to mitigate hazards appropriately or hasn't followed safety regulations, they could be deemed to have put you at risk and may be responsible for your accident in their shop.

If you've been harmed because of negligence in a shop or supermarket, we're here to support and guide you through the process of making a shopping centre injury compensation claim.

Although they may seem like relatively safe places, accidents and injuries of all kinds can occur in shops and supermarkets if the necessary health and safety regulations haven't been followed.

For example, if staff members haven't stacked shelves safely, you could be struck and injured by falling objects. This can also apply to signs hanging from the ceiling, which could fall if not properly secured. Shelves and other fittings with sharp edges can cause cuts, as can broken glass and other objects which haven't been cleared away or fixed.

Wet and slippery floors are one of the most common causes of fall accidents in shops, often resulting in customers slippingin the store. Floors can become wet because of weather conditions outside, spillages and cleaning operations. In any case, managers and shop owners must try to dry the floor as soon as possible and should place warning signs if that's not entirely possible.

Falls can happen due to tripping as well, when boxes, packaging and other items are left in aisles by staff or if stairs and flooring are poorly maintained. If you've slipped, tripped or fallen, you could be entitled to shopping centre fall compensation to help you get back on your feet.

If the proper health and safety protocols aren't followed, there are many ways customers can be injured in a shop. We've listed some of the most common below:

• Slips, trips and fall injuries
• Fractures and broken bones
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Back injuries
• Head and brain injuries

Any compensation claimed will be split into two categories, as outlined below:

These are all informed by the Judicial College Guidelines, which provide compensation figures for different types of personal injury claims, including those caused by accidents in a shop.
