What should you do if you’ve been injured at a supermarket?
Whether you’ve been injured in a supermarket accident as a result of slippery floors, spilled food or a nasty trip hazard, experiencing a public injury is always a traumatic and often painful time. Supermarkets have a duty of care to their customers to clean up hazards before accidents occur, and if a supermarket breaches this duty of care, the person injured may be entitled to compensation.
LHD Lawyers are supermarket accident claims experts, and can help you navigate the process and receive the maximum amount of compensation you may be entitled to as a result of your suffering.

What is the process for a supermarket accident claim?
If you’re making a supermarket injury claim, it’s always best to first seek professional legal advice to help you. The public injury team at LHD Lawyers will be able to guide you and help you to understand your rights. We’ll be able to assess your situation (either in-office or over the phone), and can let you know whether your claim is likely to succeed.
For your claim to be successful, you’ll need to:
- Be able to show that the severity of your injury is above a certain threshold dictated by the legal system. This can be through photographic evidence, medical reports and records or witness accounts.
- Lodge a claim for compensation that details how exactly the supermarket breached its duty of care to you as a customer and how this resulted in your injury.
