PUBLIC PLACE INJURY - SHOPS & SUPERMARKETS

- slipping on a wet floor
- tripping on a broken surface in the car park
- being hit by product falling from a shelf
- being injured by a sharp edge on a display rail
It is sometimes said that supermarket accidents in Scotland are relatively common but that’s simply a reflection of the number of shoppers that supermarkets attract. The national operators (whether that’s Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys or Morrisons) are highly professional and go to great lengths to ensure the wellbeing of their staff and customers but, inevitably, accidents do happen from time to time.
If you have had an accident in a supermarket in Scotland or in another shop whilst you were visiting there and that accident resulted in you suffering an injury or damage to your property, you may be entitled to compensation from the owner or occupier of the supermarket or shop. That’s because the owner/occupier had a general duty to you in respect of your welfare, as well as responsibilities to you under the occupiers’ liability rules.
If you were injured in a supermarket or shop accident in Scotland whilst you were working there, you have additional rights under the accident at work rules.
