Shopper Injures Leg After Slipping On Spilled Milk

Case Study - Mrs Wilson

Mrs Wilson was going towards the checkout of her local supermarket, with a large shopping basket, when she slipped on some milk that had leaked from a customer’s shopping bag, and fell, damaging the Achilles tendon in her ankle, and twisting her knee. The checkout girl came to her assistance, and the supervisor was summoned, who recorded the details of the accident, and called an ambulance for Mrs Wilson. She was taken to hospital where a plaster cast was applied, and she remained on crutches for the next 4 weeks. Mrs Wilson was unable to return to work for 7 weeks, and being self-employed lost considerable earnings in that time.

Our Legal Advice

Mrs Wilson got in touch with Bartletts Solicitors to discuss bringing a claim for compensation against the supermarket. The record of the accident that had been filed at the time confirmed the circumstances of the incident. The checkout girl had called for someone to clean up the spillage 15 minutes before Mrs Wilson slipped and fell. Therefore the inspection and cleaning routine of the supermarket in question had not operated as it should have, and this directly caused Mrs Owen’s accident. The supermarket admitted liability almost immediately, and Mr Wilson was awarded £4,250, and a further amount for her loss of earnings resulting from the injury.
