I slipped and broke my leg in a supermarket. It was really painful, and I’m still off work. Can I make a claim?

02.05.2024

Yes, you probably can. Shops have a duty to keep customers safe. This means dealing with hazards like spills or loose flooring promptly. If they don't, and you're injured, you may have a strong claim.

What do I need to prove?

  • The shop was at fault: Was the floor wet with no warning sign? Was there something in the aisle you tripped over?
  • Your injuries: You'll need medical evidence showing the extent of the break and how it's affected you.
  • Your losses: This includes lost wages, medical bills, and even things like travel costs for hospital appointments.

How "it happens" can help:

  • Gathering evidence: We can help get CCTV, witness statements, etc.
  • Valuing your claim: It's not just about the broken leg itself – we look at the full impact on your life.
  • Dealing with the shop's insurers: They can be tricky. We'll fight to get you a fair settlement.
