In fact, a large number of accidents occur in supermarkets and other shops, and many of these incidents result in injuries serious enough to warrant a claim for compensation.
Who is responsible for preventing shop and supermarket accidents?
It is the responsibility of whoever runs the shop to keep customers safe so, depending on the situation, it is likely that the blame lies either with the owner of the premises or with the management team. As with all publicly accessible buildings, managers not only have a responsibility for ensuring the fabric of the building is safe, but are also legally responsible for the safety of the entire premises including outside space such as car parks, and can be held liable for any inappropriate or dangerous behaviour on the part of their staff.
And if the goods you have purchased cause injury or illness – food-poisoning, for example – we can help you make a product liability claim against the item’s manufacturer or producer, or the retailer who sold it to you, whichever is the most appropriate under the circumstances.
A FEW KIND WORDS
“I would just like to thank you for all your hard work in settling my father’s case and in coming to an agreeable settlement with the insurers. Thank you for being so patient with us, and taking time to explain things in layman’s terms…”
“You have led us through this process with ease and my father is very happy to have reached a conclusion in this matter. All your efforts are very much appreciated. Wishing you all the best…”
Why Choose George Ide LLP?
Our expert personal injury claims team is experienced in helping unfortunate shoppers who have fallen victim to an accident while out shopping. It is not unusual for rain, inefficient cleaning or a freezer malfunction to cause shoppers to slip, trip or fall on a store’s wet floor, or on a floor made slippery by dropped items, for example.
Goods that have been incorrectly balanced on high shelves and other display units, loose signage, sharp or protruding objects in customer-accessible areas, damaged shopping trolleys, dilapidated buildings or poor fittings maintenance can all lead to accident and injury, while automatic doors, lifts and escalators can be dangerous to use if not kept in good working order.
If you have been hurt in a shop or supermarket accident that was not your fault, our legal team will help you claim the financial compensation you deserve. At every step, we will explain your choices in plain English to ensure you remain in control and up-to-date with the progress of your claim.

George Ide LLP. We're on your sideClient Support Story
After sustaining a severe brain injury at the age of 19, Mr A suffered a personality change and became prone to angry outbursts to the extent that his family were unable to cope with his behaviour. The success of our personal injury team, assisted by our independent healthcare-trained case manager and rehabilitation team, enabled Mr A to move into rented accommodation with 24-hour support. Now able to pursue new interests and fill his days constructively, he became much happier in himself and his quality of life – and that of his family – improved greatly as a result.
