Claim Compensation For An Accident In Sainsbury's

Sainsbury's is Britain’s third largest supermarket operator after Tesco and Asda, with around 850 stores of various sizes and formats. The very largest Sainsbury's supermarkets can be up to three square miles in size, while Sainsbury's Local and Central convenience stores are far smaller. In a high volume, customer-orientated business, employing such a large number of people (150,000 in the UK), it is inevitable that accidents will occur, and customers or staff will get injured though no fault of their own. To make a successful claim for compensation, it will be necessary to prove than an injury was the direct result of negligence on the part of Sainsbury's management or staff.

Typical Accidents At Sainsbury's Supermarkets

Many Sainsbury's supermarkets feature specialist food counters, such as Hot Food and Salad Bars, serving ready-to-go food that may be easily dropped or spilled. Wet and treated floors cause a high percentage of slipping accidents, and commonly result from an employee's negligence in failing to put up appropriate hazard warning signs. Customers may easily trip on products and packing materials left lying around on floors, or on frayed carpeting in entrance areas. Accidents in Sainsbury's should be immediately reported to staff or management. Details of any witnesses should be collected, and where possible, photos of the cause of the accident taken.

Injuries Among Sainsbury’s Workers

Sainsbury’s supermarket employees may also suffer work related injuries in the course on their jobs. Shelf stacking and the unloading of deliveries can cause back injuries if safe manual handling techniques are not used, or if specialist lifting equipment is not provided, and workers should not be asked to lift or carry excessive amounts of weight by hand during the course of a shift. Sainsbury’s staff may also be at risk of burns, electric shocks and lacerations, depending on their specific roles, and Sainsbury’s must take all reasonable measures to reduce the risk of such accidents occurring to a minimum.
