If you have been injured in a supermarket accident<\/a><\/strong> that wasn\u2019t your fault in the past three years then you may be able to make an injury compensation claim<\/a>. Supermarkets must provide a duty of care towards their customers which requires them to make sure that customers in their stores are not at risk from any hazards. This applies to all supermarkets, including Asda, Morrison\u2019s, Waitrose, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl or a local independent supermarket.<\/p>\n

To help prevent accidents all supermarkets usually have a system in place that requires members of staff to carry out regular checks, clean up any spillages, and to keep a written record of their cleaning programme.
