If you slipped, tripped, or fell while shopping in a supermarket or grocery store, you may be entitled to compensation even if the accident seemed minor at first. There are no upfront fees.
A supermarket accident claim is a legal process where you can seek compensation for injuries caused by unsafe conditions, like wet floors, blocked aisles, or damaged flooring, while shopping or working in a supermarket.
If staff failed to follow safety procedures or didn't clean or fix hazards in time, you may be owed compensation for your injury, time off work, and medical costs.
Even if you didn't report it at the time, you may still be able to claim. Supermarkets usually have CCTV, so ask for the footage to be kept as soon as you can.
You pay nothing to start your claim and nothing while it runs.
We only handle personal injury and clinical negligence claims, from first advice through to court if it comes to that.
If your claim succeeds, the other side pays your legal costs and you keep 100% of your compensation.
Our legal insurance covers the costs if your claim doesn't succeed.
We'll look at what happened and tell you honestly whether you have a claim. There's no pressure to go ahead.
We'll tell you plainly how your claim looks, and keep you updated as it moves.
We help clients across Northern Ireland, in person or by phone, email or video.
