Common Types of Shopping Accidents Claims We Handle

Shopping centre and supermarket accidents can occur in many ways. Below are the most common causes of injury.

Slip on Wet Floors

Spills, wet floors, and leaks without warning signs are the leading cause of shopping centre slip accidents.

Trips Over Obstacles

Loose mats, uneven flooring, and cluttered walkways frequently cause trip-and-fall injuries in retail spaces.

Falling Objects

Overloaded or unstable shelving can lead to falling items that cause head, neck, or back injuries.

Faulty Shopping Trolleys or Equipment

Broken trolleys, baskets, or automatic doors can malfunction and injure customers.

Injuries in Car Parks

Supermarket and retail car parks often pose risks from potholes, poor lighting, or missing safety signs.

Food or Packaging Hazards

Defective packaging, foreign objects in food, or incorrect allergen labelling can all justify a shopping accident compensation claim.

If negligence, poor maintenance, or missing warning signs caused your injury, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim.


These accidents often stem from preventable hazards and poor health-and-safety compliance. If the business failed to take reasonable steps to protect visitors, you could hold them legally responsible under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957.

Do You Have a Valid Shopping Centre Accident Claim?

You can make a claim if:

  • You were injured because of unsafe conditions on a shopping centre or retail property you were legally entitled to enter.

  • The accident occurred within the last three years.

  • Your injury resulted from negligence or a failure by the supermarket or centre owner to ensure safety.

Even if you’re unsure who was at fault, our solicitors will investigate your accident and give clear, honest advice on your claim’s strength.

To start a shopping centre accident claim, you’ll need to show that the property owner or operator breached their duty of care. Our team can gather evidence such as CCTV footage, incident reports, and witness statements to build a clear liability case and maximise your chance of success.

What Can You Claim for in a Shopping Centre Accident Claim?

At NJS Law, we ensure that every part of your shopping centre accident claim is fully assessed, covering all losses and injuries.

You can claim for:

  • Pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused by the accident
  • Past and future loss of earnings or reduced income capacity
  • Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
  • Care and support provided by family members or professional carers
  • Travel expenses and other out-of-pocket costs related to treatment or claims
  • Home adaptations and mobility aids required due to injury

Depending on the severity of your injury and its impact on daily life, your claim may also include future care needs and psychological support. We work closely with medical experts and financial advisers to make sure your settlement reflects both current and long-term losses.

Our personal injury solicitors use a thorough and strategic approach to secure the maximum compensation for your shopping centre accident claim.
