Marks & Spencer accident claimsslip, trip & fall compensation
Quick answer
Yes, you can claim compensation if you were injured in a Marks & Spencer store because of a hazard staff should have dealt with, such as a spillage or leak. The claim is made against Marks and Spencer plc under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, and you normally have three years from the accident to start it.
M&S Food Halls — both standalone and inside larger department stores — combine grocery with clothing and homeware. The mixed retail environment broadens the accident scenarios significantly.
