The Benefits Of Using A Firm Of No Win No Fee Solicitors

Case Study: Slip Caused By Leaking Freezer

Situation: Mrs Ahmed was walking down the frozen foods aisle in her local Morrisons supermarket. One of the refrigeration units had developed a fault and was slowly leaking water onto the floor. Mrs Ahmed slipped and fell, twisting her ankle and jarring her back in the process. The incident was reported to staff and duly recorded in the supermarket's accident book. Mrs Ahmed's husband also had the presence of mind to take a photo of the leak on his mobile phone. Mrs Ahmed saw a doctor the same day and was advised to rest for some days and place no weight on her ankle. She was also diagnosed as having strained ligaments in her back.

Result: Mrs Ahmed got in touch with us asking; how can I claim compensation from Morrisons supermarket for my accident? After considering the facts of her case we advised Mrs Ahmed that a claim for compensation against Morrisons would be worth pursuing. She decided to proceed with the claim. We wrote to Morrisons enclosing Mr Ahmed's photograph and a medical report from Mrs Ahmed's GP. Morrison's initially denied liability, but upon further investigation of the supermarket's accident book and cleaning records, it became apparent that staff were aware of the leaking unit, but no action had been taken to rectify the defect. Furthermore, no safety barriers or warning signs were in place to prevent shoppers from walking over the leakage. By failing to provide an effective system of cleaning and maintenance Morrison's had breached the duty of care they owed to Mrs Ahmed. The case was eventually settled out of court, and Mrs Ahmed received £4,250 compensation for her injury, of which she kept 100% under the terms of her No Win No Fee agreement.

Case Study: Cut By Glass Jar After Shelf Collapses

Situation: Ms Wilson was shopping Morrisons when she reached up to a top shelf of a display unit to remove a glass jar of produce. The jars were stacked on a cardboard tray which subsequently collapsed, causing a number of jars to fall onto her. One jar smashed on her foot while another struck her on the hand. Apart from being covered in the contents of the jars, Ms Wilson also found there was glass in her shoe and that shards of glass had pierced her foot. Her sister complained to the supermarket's management who duly noted the details of the accident, but failed to apologise or offer further assistance. Ms Wilson was forced to clean the wound herself, and later attended her GP's surgery where the wound was properly inspected and treated.

Result: Ms Wilson contacted one of our solicitors and asked; how can I sue Morrisons without paying out money for the legal work? Our solicitor advised that our No Win No Fee agreement allowed us to bring a compensation claim against Morrison's without having to ask her for payment at any stage. Ms Wilson went ahead with her claim. We argued that the shelves had been poorly stacked, were inherently unstable, and that these factors had caused Ms Wilson's injury. Therefore Morrison's had breached the duty of care they owed to their customers under Section 2 of the Occupiers Liability Act 1957. We were able to obtain a statement from a witness to the accident, and this was sent along with a medical report to the supermarket's insurance company. Morrisons admitted liability and within six months Ms Wilson received a cheque for £3,150 in compensation, of which she kept 100%, while her legal fees were met by Morrisons' public liability insurance policy.
