Gerard Malouf and Partners fight for Penrith man after Slip and Fall in Supermarket

The client instructed that as he was entering the store, he gave way for the trolley collector to enter the trolley bay of the supermarket.

However, due to the absence of any CCTV Footage, our firm struggled to prove that the trollies were in fact wet and traversed the area in which the client had sustained the accident.

Following further investigations, our firm learned that the client had not slipped where the trollies had traversed, but rather inside the store.

An incident report produced by the supermarket revealed that only 10 minutes prior to the incident occurring, a staff member was at the produce promotional table restocking the produce and noted that the floor was clear and free from any hazard.

Despite serious liability issues, our firm requested that the supermarket participates in a settlement conference for an early settlement and resolution of the matter.
