\"\"Supermarkets are one of those places that you either love visiting or dread visiting.\u00a0 There are many reasons why people would like going to the supermarket: there is the fact that everything is under the one roof, there are discounts galore and there is lots of choice. This being said however, there are also many reasons for the alternate view of these being the queuing at the tills<\/strong>, the queuing to get in and out of the car park<\/strong>, and the general hassle of walking around a large supermarket<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Whatever your views of supermarkets, I could hazard a guess that it is the last thing on your mind that you will have an accident <\/a>whilst shopping in one that was not your fault.\u00a0 Now you may think, like many of our clients first think and later succeed with their claims, that claiming against a supermarket is a David v Goliath type situation: i.e. it is the small individual vs. the large corporation. This is why firms like The Injury Lawyers<\/a> are here \u2013 to use our know-how<\/em> and expertise to help you get the result you need. Whoever the claim is against, whether it be against an individual or a large corporation<\/strong>, the system of claiming is the same, so there should be no hesitancy regarding bringing your claim based on the fact that the defendant is a supermarket.<\/p>\n

Supermarkets like anywhere else have a duty to protect their customers as far as is reasonably possible<\/strong>. They must also abide by strict Health and Safety Regulations<\/strong>. Supermarkets should train their staff in order to help keep their customers safe.\u00a0 This may involve training in replenishing shelving safely, training in how to deal with a spillage, or staff rotas to ensure the floors of aisles are free of items that may cause a hazard at all times.\u00a0 There are many potential hazards in supermarkets; these being spillages causing a slip hazard<\/strong>, items negligently left on the floor of an aisle causing a trip hazard<\/strong>, or poorly stacked items on shelving falling on top of a person<\/strong>.
\n<\/p>\n

At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we offer free assessments of claims whether we take the claim on or not. We work on a genuine no win no fee<\/a> basis and work hard on behalf of our clients to get them the best possible amounts of compensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
