Asda Injury Claims

CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS

Some of the most common causes of accidents include:

• Spillages or wet floors
• Accidents in the store car park
• Items falling off shelves
• Trips or falls caused by stray items or trolleys

SLIPPED IN ASDA?

One of the most common types of accidents that occur in a supermarket are slips caused by spilt food or drink. An item may have been dropped or fallen off a shelf and not cleaned up. A wet floor sign may not have been displayed to alert customers. If you have slipped and there were no wet floor signs to warn you about the spillage that caused your injury, you may have a claim.

ASDA ACCIDENTS AT WORK

If you are an employee, your company has a duty of care to look after you. Whether you work in-store, in a warehouse or at head office, your manager should ensure that you are properly trained. They should also make sure that they provide you with the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) if appropriate. If they have failed to do either of these things and you become injured, you may have a valid accident at work claim.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE INJURED IN ASDA

If you are injured while shopping in or while working, you should contact a personal injury solicitor with experience in dealing with supermarket accident claims. You have just three years from the date of your accident in which to make a claim. Because of this, if you would like to make a claim, you must start the legal process as soon as possible. If you would like to claim on behalf of a child, this three-year timeframe begins on the date of their eighteenth birthday.

What to do after an accident at Asda

• Report the incident to the store so they can make an official record of it in their accident book.
• Take photos of what has happened-injuries and the scene of the accident.
• Get the details of any witnesses to the accident.
