    Why are we all so hung up about compensation ,this is about the law and basic rights,we must be safe when we shop and it is an obligation of the premises to protect us . If I suffer as a result of visiting a premises and as a result suffered injury because of no fault of mine ,I can seek justice .Just because a whole host of companies have decided to capitalise upon the law ,do not allow this to colour your attitudes

    Are accidents not accidents any more??

    Is there always someone to blame?

    I hope she gets better soon
    When I am putting a tin of baked beans into my basket ,I expect to be safe,and If I am injured some-one is to blame ,how else would the injury have occurred ,I was not to blame why should I be in pain and have my life distrupted,no one can compensate me for my health my most precious possession.I would choose to remain healthy and never visit the store.
    Accidents are accidents ,but some-one is always to blame,and I expect the store to protect me,so forget the compensation ,no one can compensate me for my health it is priceless
    I hope she gets better soon ,well that has certainly helped her through her pain --thank-you

    NO she isnt making sense neither are you, Insurance is in place for geniune accidents and are a last port of call (ofcourse depending on the circumstances) and shouldnt be used willy nilly just because its not your premiums your paying for.

    I know my rights unfortunately ts-aly2000 doesnt, its not a case of shove a claim in because I can its a case of put a claim in if there is something to claim against,, a court would ask did the supermarket try there hardest to make customers aware of a spillage, and even if the supermarket say, we vistit each aisle every 5mins anyone in there right mind would see that as reasonable house keeping, what the hell do you want your own personal cleaner to follow you about just incase you spill something? get with the plan.
    Why was this accident not genuine,sorry but I have decided that your argument is not credible,just an opinion please do not take it personal.

  • OK, no-one here has mentioned three important words:

    "Duty of Care".

    Now, although people here are giving their opinions, no-one has mentioned the Law of Torts or negligence. There are set guidelines in place in regards to such incidents, including establishing if the supermarket has failed in its duty of care. I won't bother going into whether or not the supermarket has a duty of care, as it's blindingly obvious that it does. None of the people posting to this thread were there when the incident happened and none of them are privy to all the information surrounding the event (such as what actions were taken by the supermarket to prevent the incident).

    OP, I would say seek legal advice. Explain to your solicitor exactly what happened and see what he says you should do.

    For those people moaning about "compensation culture", may I remind you that the woman suffered a dislocated shoulder as a result of the incident.

    Yes lets sue everyone so all our premiums go up, well done :T :T :T


    As said before write a letter first, and just to reiterate a supermarket has a certain amount of time to get to a spillage as they dont carry crystal balls, if you really want to sue or claim then move to the USA youll fit right in.
