Many people are injured in supermarkets and shops each year. It can often be quite simple to make a claim if you are accidentally injured on retail premises. Mark Lampkin explains more.
Supermarket accident personal injury claims
Hi my name’s Mark Lampkin, I’m a solicitor, a personal injury solicitor at Lampkin and Co Solicitors. This is my firm and all we do is look after people who’ve been injured in all sorts of accidents.
I just want to talk to you now about whether you’ve been injured in a supermarket or retail premises. We’re coming across a lot of claims for people who’ve been injured in supermarkets. These claims are based on the occupiers liability act and the supermarket, as an occupier of the premises, has a very high duty of care to keep the place safe they have thousands of visitors and even blind visitors and their duty is very, very high.
Now if anybody is injured in the supermarket it can often be quite straightforward to claim. We find that we get a lot of cases for people slipping on grapes for example. Supermarkets quite often sell grapes loose, where people can try them and it’s inevitable that a grape will end up on the floor and there is nothing more dangerous than that on a polished marble floor. We had a case yesterday where somebody broke their wrist on that very same incident and we are now pursuing a claim against the supermarket.
There are many other types of claims, edges of display cabinets sticking out and all sorts of things. So if you’re injured on retail premises, please give us a call. We can act for you completely no win no fee. You’ll never see a bill from us if we take your case on. We get paid when we win the case and you get your compensation 100% and we then get our costs from the other side.
So call us it’s completely free, the number is now on screen so is the web site details where you can find out more about the cases that we deal with and how we can help you if you’ve been injured in retail premises.
