They have all of life\u2019s essentials under one roof; so with one quick trip you have got all the fuel to get you through another busy week.\u00a0 Not only this, but prices are low and discounts are numerous.\u00a0 You may think that I am promoting the perks of supermarket shopping, but I\u2019m actually pointing out <strong>why personal injury within supermarkets is on the increase<\/strong>.\u00a0 It is the furthest thought from our mind that we may have an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/supermarket-accident-claims.php\">accident in a supermarket<\/a> that is not our fault; however, the statistics for it are surprisingly high.\u00a0 This is why at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we like to write blogs to inform our readers about when you can and can\u2019t <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/100-percent-compensation-4u.php\">claim for compensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are many possible accidents that could occur within a supermarket.\u00a0 There could be a spillage on the floor causing a slip, an item left in an aisle causing a trip hazard, or the items on the shelf could be poorly stacked causing them to fall on top of you.<\/p>\n<p>Supermarkets have a duty to look after their customers as much as possible and they must comply with important<strong> <em>Health and Safety Regulations<\/em><\/strong>. All employees within a supermarket must be fully trained in maintaining these safety standards. This training could include simple things such as having a schedule to check for clear aisles, a cleaning process for spillages, or training in stacking shelves safely.\u00a0<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If you have an accident within a supermarket, it is important that you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Report the accident to a member of staff as it may need to be entered into an accident book.<\/li>\n<li>Seek medical assistance for your injuries &#8211; the medic can then record these details in your medical records.<\/li>\n<li>Check if anyone witnessed the accident and obtain their full contact details as you may need their support later in a possible claim.<\/li>\n<li>Seek out a specialist personal injury lawyer directly. It is advisable not to use a referral agency as they may simply sell your claim to the highest payer rather than to the firm who will give you the best service.<\/li>\n<li>Claim in time &#8211; You have 3 years from the date of the accident within which to bring your claim, but it\u2019s always advisable to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible. Vital CCTV evidence (normally only kept for around 2 \u2013 4 weeks nowadays) and the memory of a witness can easily disappear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we have a vast amount of experience in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/supermarket-accident-claims.php\">supermarket claims<\/a>.\u00a0 We do not use referral agencies as all our clients come to us directly.
