Compensation for an accident in a shop

Although in most situations shops are safe and well-maintained, this is not always the case and in some areas neglect can lead to potential hazards and therefore potential injuries to customers. If you are injured while shopping through either a slippery floor surface or a hazard in the shop environment then you could be eligible to make a compensation claim to cover any injuries that you have incurred. 

How could I sustain an injury in a shop?

There are a number of situations where you could be injured in a shop environment and these include:

• Slips and trips over items which have been left around
• Slips and trips over liquids which have been spilt on the floor
• Injuries sustained in the changing rooms
• Injuries caused by the neglect of another shopper
• Injuries sustained through the direct negligence of a shopkeeper

Who could I claim against?

If you are injured while shopping then there are a number of people who you may consider making a personal injury claim against. If your injury was caused directly through the negligence of a shopkeeper who may have left hazardous equipment lying around or perhaps failed to clean a spill off the floor, you could claim against them. Alternately, if you have been injured through the direct negligence of another shopper or a member of the public, you could consider making a compensation claim against them instead.
