Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
The owners of shops and shopping centres have a clear responsibility to protect our health and safety in their premises. When this protection is missing or flawed, a shopping centre or supermarket accident can be the result.
Accidents within shops can cause serious personal injury, particularly accidents involving falling objects or a slip, trip or fall.
According to consumer polls, one pound in every three earned by the British public is spent on food or shopping. We all have to go shopping, whether for our weekly food shop or visiting our local shopping centre or mall. With so many people visiting the shops every day, it’s unsurprising that a number of people suffer accidents while shopping.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your personal injury claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to an accident in a shop, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Shop Injury Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
Store and supermarket owners have legal responsibilities to ensure your wellbeing while you’re shopping with them.
Accidents that occur to members of the public while shopping are commonly caused by:
- Tripping over items left on the floor
- Slipping on spillages
- Being hit by items falling off shelves
Accidents in supermarkets and shops can lead to a wide range of injuries. We’ve successfully represented clients claiming for broken bones, soft tissue injuries and other types of injuries.
Irwin Mitchell can help you to claim compensation if you have been injured in an accident in a shop, shopping centre or supermarket. This may be the case even in you think it may have been your fault.
If you slip, trip or are injured in a supermarket or shop you should try and take photos of the area where the accident took place. It’s also important that you report your accident to the manager. You should be asked to fill out an accident report form, or they should record your accident in the accident book.
You should also try and take the names and addresses of any witnesses. You’ll have a much stronger claim if someone can confirm that they saw your accident or the hazard what caused your accident.
