Accidents in shops compensation claims
You should expect a visit to a supermarket, shopping centre or even your corner shop to be a safe experience. But should an accident occur through no fault of your own, you could make a claim for compensation. Typical accidents in shops or supermarkets are usually caused by:
- Slipping on a substance which should have been cleaned up by a member of staff.
- Tripping over packaging or debris left on the shop floor by a member of staff.
- Items falling on you as a result of them being stacked unsafely.
- Staff members pushing trolleys or cages into you.
- The shop failing to repair holes or defects in the floor which cause you to trip or fall.
- Advertising material falling onto you.
Should you or a loved one have suffered an injury whilst out shopping, we can help you get the compensation you deserve.

FAQs
Can I make a claim if I've had an accident in a shop?
Slip, trip and fall accidents are quite common and can take place anywhere.
If you or a loved one have been injured in a public place such as a shop supermarket or retail centre, you can make a claim against the owner’s public liability insurance.
How much compensation will I get from my personal injury claim?
The amount you can expect to receive in personal injury compensation depends on your specific case details. Factors affecting your compensation can include the nature of your injury or illness, the impact the negligence has on your day to day health, your ability to work and your future health, including any long-term care.
Compensation damages may be awarded for:
- Pain and suffering caused.
- Loss of earnings and future loss of earnings (such as being at a disadvantage in the labour market / loss of employability and reduction in potential earnings.).
- Cost of surgery or medical procedures required after the negligence.
- Adaptions required to your home to help with daily living.
- Costs of occupational therapy requirements, such as aids and appliances to assist with daily needs.
- Costs of current or future care.
- Travel expenses for medical appointments or equipment.
What is the time limit for making a personal injury claim?
If aged 18 and over, you will typically have three years from the date that the accident occurred.
For under-18s, there is no time limit. However, once a child reaches 18, the standard 3 year claim period comes into effect.
Will I need to go to court to claim personal injury compensation?
Personal injury claims rarely need to go to court, and usually only do so in very complex cases.
