Our team of no win, no fee solicitors at claimssolicitors.co.uk have a wide range of experience in dealing with the large variety of claims that can arise out of accidents in shops.

In UK law the owner, operator or tenant of a shop has a duty of care to you as their visitor. Ordinarily this duty goes beyond the duty owed to you as a visitor by an occupier of land. This is because in shops, as the consumer your eye is drawn to the goods on offer and not to the floor. So if the shop accident was not your fault it may be that you can make a claim for compensation against them or their insurers. For example you may have tripped over boxes or other obstacles, or been hit by falling stock or shelving. The most common shopping accident however is slipping on spilt liquids or food items. It is the shop-keepers responsibility to clear up any spillages as soon as possible after they happen and to have sensible and proficient systems for dealing with potential hazards.

As with other accident cases witness details and photographs of the site of the shop accident can be very helpful as once the offending items are cleared up/repaired there may be no physical evidence. Most reputable traders will have systems in place to report such accidents and record details. Nevertheless these cases can be tricky, especially when dealing with smaller independent shops and you will need to take specialist advice to make a successful claim. Why take a chance when you can get proper advice from an experienced shop accident claims solicitor at the outset. Our solicitors will not waste your time with ill informed promises. You can be assured of a proper assessment of your shopping accident case and a sympathetic ear.
