Supermarket accidents claims – Public liability compensation

If you have an accident in a supermarket it could lead to a payment from the supermarket’s Public Liability Insurance (PLI).

Accidents in supermarkets and shops can cause a variety of injuries which could lead to a personal injury claim, that’s why supermarkets have to take out PLI which offers protection for some of the more common forms of accident which happen.

If you are injured whilst out shopping at a supermarket you could make a personal injury compensation claim via the supermarket’s Public Liability Insurance, supermarket owners have a legal responsibility to make sure you are safe, as far as reasonably possible and practical, while you are shopping with them.

Shops and supermarkets have to keep aisles clear from potential hazards and have a cleaning process in place to maintain them for reasons of health and safety. Likewise with displays and shelves, if a display is not arranged properly and products or packaging falls on you and it is not your fault you could be able to make some form of personal injury claim against the supermarket.
