Customer Slips On Wet Floor While Shopping

Case Study - Mr Johns

Mr Johns was visiting the Bluewater shopping and leisure centre, when he slipped and fell on a wet floor in the entrance to one store. A child had recently dropped ice cream, and the centre’s cleaning staff has recently cleared it up. Unfortunately the floor was still wet and slippery. In these circumstances wet floor warning signs should have been posted to block off the area. Mr Johns fractured his wrist in the fall, and was taken to hospital, where a plaster cast was applied. As his job involved considerable manual dexterity, he was unable to function normally at work for over 4 weeks. He was also unable to perform basic daily functions unassisted for a similar period.

Our Legal Advice

Mr Johns instructed Bartletts Solicitors to begin a compensation claim against the Bluewater centre. We argued that normal cleaning procedures at Bluewater involved putting up warning signs and barriers to obstruct access to floor surfaces which had recently been cleaned. The centre was therefore liable for failing to warn Mr Johns that he was passing over a slippery surface. Like all public premises, Bluewater has a responsibility to take all reasonable measures to protect the health of their visitors, and minimise the risk of injuries. Bluewater accepted that their cleaning routine had been defective in this instance, and Mr Johns received £4,250 in compensation for his injuries.
