Supermarket Accidents
Supermarket accident claims are a very common type of public liability claim.
This is because of the number of potential hazards which can exist within a Supermarket and the public grounds surrounding it. We have dealt with numerous Supermarket accidents and if you have been involved in a Supermarket accident which was not your fault and if you have suffered an injury as a result you may be entitled to claim compensation.
