Farmfoods Duty of Care

If you have had an accident in a supermarket you could be able to make a supermarket accident claim. Whether you were a customer or an employee, you deserve to make a supermarket accident claim if you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault. Talk to us, we are here to help.

Types Of Farmfoods Accident Claims

Some of the most common supermarket accident types include:

• Falling object accidents – these sorts of accidents are caused by an object falling off a shelf and hitting the person below.
• Slip, trip and fall accidents – these sorts of accidents often happen when a floor has been cleaned but a sign has not been put up to highlight that the floor is wet. Liquid or food spillages can also cause slip, trip and fall accidents. If items are placed in walkways, such as the supermarket aisles, this can also cause slip, trip and fall accidents.
• Accidents in the car park – you could potentially be injured due to falling in a badly maintained car park. You could also be hit by a trolley or a vehicle while walking through the car park.
• Manufacturing accidents – you could be injured by an item that has a manufacturing fault, such as suffering an electric shock from a faulty refrigerator.

This list is not extensive.

If you’ve been injured in any capacity while in a supermarket, you may be able to make a claim. Once an accident has occurred, you should inform a manager as soon as possible. The manager should then allow you to put a detailed report about the accident into the accident book. It is a legal requirement for all businesses to have an accident book. It is important that you check this report carefully in order to make sure that it records the circumstances of your accident accurately.

Compensation For Farmfoods Accident Claims

Compensation is decided on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the pain and suffering caused by your injuries and the impact that these injuries have had upon your ability to function/your amenity. For example, if you can no longer complete tasks that you normally could, you may be able to be compensated for this loss of ability.

Compensation also takes financial loss into account. If you have experienced a loss of income due to your injuries, then it may be possible to account for this loss of income through compensation. Similarly, if you have had to pay for treatment or other costs associated with your injuries, it may be possible to claim these costs back through compensation.

To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator. However, it is important to remember that these figures are just estimates based upon previous cases. The best way to determine how much compensation you are likely to receive in your case is to speak directly to us.

Amount of compensation in claims against Farmfoods

Every personal injury claim is different, therefore meaning that every compensation amount will be unique and is not operated on a 'one size fits all' basis. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two specific factors – general damages and special damages.

Except for children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident occurred. You should contact us as soon as possible to assess your case.
