Sainsbury's accident claimsslip, trip & fall compensation
Quick answer
Yes, you can claim compensation if you were injured in a Sainsbury's store because of a hazard staff should have dealt with, such as a spillage or leak. The claim is made against Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, and you normally have three years from the accident to start it.
Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd is the UK's second-largest grocer. Larger Sainsbury's stores combine grocery with clothing (Tu) and homeware (Habitat) sections, broadening the range of accident scenarios — from food spillages to falling product displays.
Where did it happen?
We act against all major UK supermarkets.
The four most common Sainsbury's accident scenarios our solicitors see
Café spillages near checkouts
In-store cafés mean drinks regularly travel across the shop floor.
Habitat & Tu aisle hazards
Hanging garments, low display fixtures and trip hazards from soft furnishings.
Bakery and deli floors
Flour residue and grease near hot counters create slippery surfaces.
Click & Collect car park trips
Uneven kerbs and unlit collection bays cause falls outside the store.
