Since the seemingly terminal decline of markets and small independent grocers took hold in the UK, supermarket visits have become a staple part of life for most us. Each year, on average, most of will make more than 100 supermarket visits, during which we will part with thousands of pounds of our earnings and give over an astonishing number of valuable life hours. Unfortunately, with this being the reality, accidents will always remain a possibility, and if they do occur, wherever we are in the UK, a no win, no fee claim for compensation may result.
The supermarket accident risk is not confined to any one particular kind of accident. While slips and trips, resulting from wet floors and spilt goods might be the major source of injury, there are other kinds sources of injury to worry about too.
The danger of accidents involving faulty trolleys is one such concern. Most likely to affect young children, who frequently ride in the child seats mounted at the front of trolleys, these may occur if a trolley is old, damaged or defective. In such cases, parents may decide to utilise the UK's no win, no fee claims system.
In addition, all trolleys should have a recommended maximum weight for these seats and parents are advised to always pay careful attention to ensure seats are suitable for their children.
The danger of being hit by a falling object is another concern. Both products and advertising materials, if not properly secured, may fall onto customers, potentially causing injury, so supermarkets have a duty to minimise the risk of such accidents occurring.
Consumers are not the only group in danger of suffering injury in a supermarket accident. Between them, the major supermarkets employ more than 500,000 staff in the UK, making it imperative they protect the health and safety of their workers.
As well as being at risk from the same kinds of accidents as customers, supermarket employees are exposed to added hazards, such as forklifts, heavy storeroom equipment and toxic cleaning chemicals among others.
Whatever the case, if an accident does occur, always make sure that is reported in the outlet's accident log book, and, where possible, take photographs and witness statements to provide evidence for any resulting personal injury compensation claim.
