Supermarkets; you can either love them or you hate them. Many people favour supermarkets as they have everything under one roof, discounts galore, and plenty of choice. For some, they dread the weekly ‘big’ shop due to the hassle of queuing at tills and queuing in traffic to get in and out of the shop car park.  Whatever your feeling on supermarkets, I can hazard a guess that you would not anticipate having an accident whilst shopping in one that was not your fault.

There are many potential hazards in supermarkets. These can include a spillage that has been negligently left unmopped on the floor, causing a dangerous slip hazard, or an item left on the floor causing a trip hazard, or a poorly stacked shelf causing an item/items to fall on someone.  This is not an exhaustive list, as our clients here at The Injury Lawyers can vouch for having suffered all sorts of accidents whilst in a supermarket.

We’ve spend endless hours texting around friends, getting them organised, and at least two hours getting ready.

We all expect our nights out to be one to remember, to have a laugh with friends and who knows maybe even meet the next best thing to Gerard Butler. But what happens when a night out goes wrong? A night out around your local town, has the same possibilities of an accident occurring like a visit to your local supermarket…except may be greater.
