A slip accident in Asda due to a wet floor is often the cause of an employee or customer being injured. Every Asda supermarket has a duty of care over their customers and employees to ensure their safety at all times.
A slip accident at the entrance of Asda due to rain trodden into the supermarket causes many accidents. Asda should ensure wet floor warning signs are in place so all customers and employees are aware of the slip hazard in the entrance due to water, so they can avoid walking in that area.
A wet floor in Asda resulting in an accident and injury may arise from a leaking fridge or freezer cabinet. If Asda has leaking equipment in the store, they should ensure staff and customers are made fully aware by placing hazard warning signs and ensure the area is cleared up regularly until the defect has been fixed or removed.
Any area in the Asda store which has been mopped and left wet due to cleaning up after a spillage should have wet floor hazard signs in place. If Asda staff has placed a sign around the wet floor area, then they have taken steps to warn customers and employees in order to prevent slip accidents. It is when a slip on a wet floor in Asda with no warning signs in place occurs, resulting in an injury, that customers or employees are entitled to make a claim against Asda for a slipping accident in the store.
A slip in Asda accident due to a wet slippery floor from stock being dropped by staff as they are putting items on the shelving or from stock leaking may result in an injury.
An accident due to a cleaning machine in Asda can happen if the cleaner left a trail of water on the floor behind the machine. The Asda cleaner should ensure customers and employees safety is not put at risk due to excessive water or spillages on the floor from the cleaning machine.
Customers or employees can be injured by falling stock in Asda due to incorrect or dangerous stacking by staff members. If an Asda employee has caused an accident and injury through negligence, then a claim against Asda for an accident may be possible.
An accident on a travelator in Asda can happen if the travelator is faulty and stops suddenly for no apparent reason. On occasions, which we have been informed of, a shopping trolley wheel got stuck at the end of the travelator due to a faulty trolley wheel. This may result in a sudden jolt and the unsuspecting customer suffers an injury.
Being injured by a faulty shopping trolley in Asda can cause many nasty injuries. Injuries suffered could be cuts from the metal trolley, back injuries, neck or shoulder injuries or even broken bones from a trolley wheel which is said to have 'a mind of its own'. Sometimes shopping trolleys go in a different direction to the intended, when one of the trolleys wheels is broken; some trolleys even topple over causing an injury to the customer as they are holding onto it and not having time to let go.
A customer or employee, who suffers injuries due to an accident in an Asda supermarket, should report the accident to an Asda staff member and have details recorded into Asda's accident book. It is very important that full and correct details are logged into the book as they may be used by the solicitor in a supermarket accident claim if an accident claim against Asda is made in the future.
Any witnesses to the accident in the supermarket should ideally have their details put in the Asda accident book whenever possible. These details may then be used if you wish to sue Asda for compensation.
A claim against Asda for an accident must be made within three years of the accident happening. For Asda compensation claims involving children, the timescales are different.
