Slip in a supermarket

Slip, trips or falls make up a large majority of the personal injury claims that are made. They can be embarrassing and worse cause you serious injury.

Most slip, trip or fall accidents happen in public places such as shopping centres, supermarkets, public buildings as well as whilst walking down the street. The chance of a slip, trip or fall happening is sadly higher than the chance of any other personal injury accident occurring.

A slip, trip or fall accident can happen due to a number of factors such as spillages not being cleared up, obstructions being left in walkways, inadequate lighting and uneven paving as well as stairways being in poor condition and inappropriate flooring being laid. Any one of these things could leave you suffering serious personal injury such as fractured/broken bones, back injuries, leg and knee injuries as well as the possibility of suffering from head or spinal cord damage. One of the leading causes of slip, trip or fall accidents remains with aspects such as uneven paving and holes within tarmac, both of which can sadly be a common feature of supermarket and shopping centre car parks.

When it comes to slip, trip or fall personal injury accidents that involve uneven paving and holes within a road surface it is the responsibility of that town or cities local council to take the proper maintenance steps to fix the problems. However in the case of a supermarket or shopping centre car park the responsibility of repairing the car park surface lies with the owner of the business as any potential accidents that happen within these grounds will leave the business liable for a compensation claim.
