Supermarkets!
They've become an integral part of our life. We rely on them for our groceries and to an extent we can purchase electrical goods, clothes and if we've got the time, sit down for a meal in their cafeteria before, during or after our shop.
But with the rise of the supermarket also comes the risk of an accident happening each time we step through their welcoming doors.
With so much going-on under one roof, spillages on the floor are unavoidable. Slips and trip accidents within a supermarket is quite a common claim which we deal with daily here at The Injury Lawyers.
If a spilled substance has not been cleaned-up, or not properly cleaned-up, then it becomes a slipping hazard in an area with a constant stream of shoppers on the move.
Now, a supermarket has a duty of care to its shoppers, which means the onus is on them to make sure spillages or any other hazards like packaging are dealt with promptly and cleared away. If a spill has happened and the floor is mopped down then signs should be erected informing you, the shopper, that the floor has just been cleaned and may still be wet.
