IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN A SUPERMARKET, THEN YOU CAN GET COMPENSATION.

All business owners have a responsibility to secure visitors’ safety, however, accidents and injuries in supermarkets are quite common.

Hence, if you have been injured in a supermarket in the last three years, it was somebody else’s fault, then it’s likely we can help you to make an injury claim for compensation.

Supermarket accidents include:

 

Most common injury compensation claims:

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE TO MAKE A CLAIM?

  1. Did your accident happen in the last three years?
  2. Was the accident someone else’s fault?
  3. Where you injured as a result of the accident?

If you said YES to all three questions, call us now on 0208 635 5555 and we can start your claim straight away.

WHAT WILL MY COMPENSATION COVER?

You will get compensation for:

  • Compensation for personal injury
  • Loss of earnings and financial losses
  • Medical expenses and prescription fees
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Travel expenses
  • Private care costs

I’M NOT SURE IF MY INJURY IS SERIOUS ENOUGH

Except in very minor injuries, it is very rare to not have some degree of incapacity after your accident.

Even a simple injury to your hand could make ordinary household chores and personal care, more difficult to do. A sprained ankle could mean that you are unable to get around as easily. In such circumstances, you will need assistance from your relatives and friends.

Good news is that any assistance that you receive will potentially be possible to recover from the Defendant as part of a claim for compensation

What do I need to do?

  1. Ensure that the injured person is moved away from any danger or hazards and get first aid if needed.
  2. Record as much information as you can at the scene of your accident. If you have fallen, take photographs of the defect that caused you to trip and fall. If needed, use a ruler to show the height/depth of the defect.
    Some evidence may not be available later if you wish to make an accident claim for personal injury compensation.
  3. Report the incident to the manager or the owner of the shop. You might be asked to fill out an accident form or manager will record an incident in an accident book. If there is no accident book, you should write out brief details of the accident and injuries, send them and keep a copy.                                                                                                                                                                  It’s your responsibility to make sure that an accident is recorded!
  4. Seek medical attention and treatment either at a hospital or from your local GP as soon as possible following your accident. Even if you think no medical treatment is needed, some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
    The doctor also will record your injuries and this will help during the claim process.
  5. Try to find the witness of your accident and take their contact details.
