All of us, at times, use trolleys. Trolleys are used at a number of places, the most common of which are DIY stores such as B & Q, Wickes and Homebase and supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys and Morrisons. Whenever you use a trolley it should be safe. If you have suffered an injury whilst using a faulty trolley, it may be possible to make an injured by a faulty trolley accident claim, with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.

Here at the Accident Advice Bureau we have successfully dealt with numerous faulty trolley accident claims. We recently accepted such a claim which involved a man who was shopping with his friend shopping in B&Q.

The man was putting bags of bark in the trolley which was supplied by the store.  He wheeled the trolley to the trade point area, as he turned, the steel trolley frame broke and locked onto the trolley wheel, suddenly jamming it. This resulted in the trolley toppling.

As the shopper had hold of the trolley, when it toppled over, it caused pain to the man’s shoulder and groin area. He informed a member of staff of the accident and that he was injured. They showed little interest.

The man saw his doctor who diagnosed a tendon injury to his shoulder as well as a groin injury.

He later contacted the B & Q store manager to report the accident and ask him to make sure it was reported into the accident book.

We have been asked to help the man make an injury compensation for the accident he suffered. All injury compensation claims we accept are work on a No Win No Fee basis, where 100% compensation is awarded on the successsful conclusion of the case.

There are thousands of diy stores all over the country. The most popular are B&Q, Homebase, Focus DIY and Wickes.

If you have been injured in a diy store and the accident was not your own fault, then it may be possible to make an injured in a diy store claim for injury compensation.

We recently accepted an injury claim for an accident which took place at B&Q. The man was shopping with his wife and was pushing a B&Q trolley, which he used for shopping and as a walking aid at the time. He would normally use a stick as he has a problem with his left leg.

A B&Q worker was pushing a large trolley, which contained wood and racking, through the aisle. The wood on the trolley was sticking out and hit the client on his right leg.

The force of hitting the customer made the wood on the trolley push back approx 9-10 inches. The wood had other stock on top of it and it took some force to move it, of which the man took the full impact.

The man was knocked to the ground and fell landing heavily twisting his right knee. The wood also caused bruising and scratching to client’s right leg. Staff were called and the accident was recorded into the B&Q accident book.

The B&Q worker apologised to the store customer and told him that he did not see him. The man went to hospital who diagnosed a twisted right knee and told him to rest. The B&Q customer injuries lasted for some time and asked for our help in seeking accident compensation.
