Waitrose accident claimsslip, trip & fall compensation
Quick answer
Yes, you can claim compensation if you were injured in a Waitrose store because of a hazard staff should have dealt with, such as a spillage or leak. The claim is made against Waitrose Limited (John Lewis Partnership) under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, and you normally have three years from the accident to start it.
Waitrose, part of the John Lewis Partnership, positions itself at the premium end of UK grocery. Its in-store cafés, wine cellars and patisserie counters present hazards more typical of hospitality venues.
