Understanding supermarket accidents

Supermarket accident claims fall under the broader category of public liability law. These claims arise when a person suffers an injury due to the negligence of a supermarket or its staff in maintaining a safe environment for customers.

Common supermarket accidents include:

  • Slip and fall incidents on wet or contaminated floors
  • Trips over obstacles in aisles
  • Falls due to uneven surfaces
  • Injuries from falling objects
  • Accidents in parking lots.

Common injury sites include:

  • Head and neck
  • Back and spine
  • Hips and pelvis
  • Arms and shoulders
  • Legs and ankles.

We're here to help.

  3. You can prove the supermarket failed in its duty of care.

Even if you’re uncertain, we encourage you to reach out. Our free initial consultation means you have nothing to lose by exploring your options.

Frequently asked questions about supermarket accident claims

To strengthen your claim, it’s important to:

  1. Report the accident to supermarket staff immediately
  2. Seek medical attention and keep all records
  3. Gather contact information from witnesses
  4. Take photos of the accident scene and your injuries
  5. Keep any items that contributed to your accident (if possible).

Compensation for supermarket accidents may include:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost income and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Home modification and rehabilitation costs
  • Care and assistance expenses.

 

The specific types and amounts of compensation available to claim will depend on the severity of your injuries and the impact on your life.

GMP Law offers free initial consultations to help individuals explore their options. Our experienced lawyers can guide you through the complex process of evaluating your situation and estimating your compensation claim.

Do not accept any settlement offers without first consulting a lawyer. Initial offers from supermarkets or their insurers are often lower than what you may be entitled to. GMP Law can assess the offer and advise whether it fairly compensates you for your injuries and losses.

In February 2018, our client suffered a slip and fall accident at a Woolworths supermarket, sustaining a fracture to her right fibula and tibia.
