Common Types of Supermarket Accident Claims

Supermarket accidents occur in specific ways. Below are the most common causes of injury:

  • Slips on Wet Floors – Slips often occur from spills, cleaning, or leaks without warning signs.
  • Trips Over Obstacles – Trips may be caused by items in aisles, loose mats, or uneven flooring.
  • Falling Objects from Shelves – Poorly stacked or high-placed items can fall and cause head, neck, or back injuries.
  • Faulty Trolleys and Store Equipment – Broken trolleys, baskets, or malfunctioning doors can lead to accidents.
  • Car Park Hazards – Hazards include potholes, poor lighting, and unclear signage.
  • Food and Packaging Hazards – Damaged packaging, foreign objects in food, or mislabelled allergens can cause serious harm.

If negligence, poor maintenance, or missing warning signs caused your accident, you may be entitled to make a supermarket accident claim.

Am I Eligible to Make a Supermarket Accident Claim?

You may be eligible to make a supermarket accident claim if:

  • You were injured because of unsafe conditions while lawfully on supermarket premises.

  • The accident happened within the last three years (the legal time limit).

  • The injury resulted from supermarket negligence or poor safety standards.

Common examples include slipping on a wet floor without a warning sign, tripping over obstacles left in aisles, or being struck by falling items from shelves. These incidents often arise when a store fails to meet its duty of care under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, which requires premises to be reasonably safe for visitors.

If you’re unsure who is liable, our solicitors will investigate the circumstances of your accident, gather evidence, and give you clear, honest advice on the strength of your claim.

What Can You Claim for in a Supermarket Accident Claim?

When you make a supermarket accident claim, compensation can cover a wide range of losses, such as:

  • Pain and suffering – for the physical and emotional impact of your injury.
  • Loss of earnings – including reduced future income if your ability to work is affected.
  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation – covering hospital care, physiotherapy, or counselling.
  • Care and assistance – from relatives or professional carers if you need support with daily activities.
  • Travel and incidental expenses – such as transport to medical appointments.
  • Home adaptations or mobility aids – for serious injuries requiring long-term adjustments.

In addition to financial losses, claims can also reflect the effect of common supermarket injuries such as broken bones, head or back injuries, sprains, and cuts. Our solicitors build every claim carefully to recover the maximum compensation available under personal injury law.

What Should I Do After a Supermarket Accident?

Taking the right steps after an accident in a supermarket can strengthen your claim:

  1. Report the incident immediately – Make sure the accident is recorded in the store’s accident book.

  2. Gather evidence – Take photos of the scene, the hazard, and your injuries if possible.

  3. Seek medical attention – Visit a GP or hospital to have your injuries assessed and recorded.

  4. Collect witness details – Ask for the names and contact information of anyone who saw the accident.

  5. Preserve documents – Keep receipts, medical records, or any correspondence related to the incident.

  6. Contact a solicitor – Get early legal advice to understand your rights and start your claim correctly.

Following these steps ensures vital evidence is preserved and your claim is built on a strong foundation.
