Tesco accident claimsslip, trip & fall compensation
Quick answer
Yes, you can claim compensation if you were injured in a Tesco store because of a hazard staff should have dealt with, such as a spillage or leak. The claim is made against Tesco Stores Limited under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, and you normally have three years from the accident to start it.
Tesco is the UK's largest supermarket chain. With over 4,000 stores from Tesco Extra hypermarkets to Tesco Express convenience outlets, slip, trip and fall accidents are unfortunately common. Tesco Stores Limited has a duty of care under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957 to keep its premises reasonably safe for customers.

The four most common Tesco accident scenarios our solicitors see
Spillages in main aisles
Burst bottles, broken jars and leaking refrigeration are recurring issues in larger Tesco Extra branches.
Wet entrances and travelators
Rainwater walked in from car parks, and travelator entry/exit points, are well-known slip risks.
Produce aisle debris
Loose grapes, leaves and water from misting units cause many fruit and veg aisle falls.
Freezer aisle ice build-up
Faulty freezer doors and condensation cause hidden ice on dark vinyl flooring.
