Slip in local supermarket whilst shopping causes injury
On 9th June 2015, S was shopping in her local supermarket when she slipped on a spillage on the floor and sustained a whiplash type injury together with soft tissue damage to her knee. There were no warning in signs in place and it later transpired there was not a sufficient cleaning system in place either. JC, public liability specialist here at Russell Worth, represented S in a claim against the supermarket for the pain, suffering and loss she had sustained as a result of the accident. On 8th July 2015, JC notified the supermarket’s insurers of the claim and within seven weeks they had responded, admitting they were responsible for the accident. Together with the admission, the supermarket’s insurers offered to compensate S in the sum of £1500 prior to a medical report being obtained. JC advised S that without a medical report it would be impossible to put a value on her injuries as it was impossible to say how long they would be likely to last and how they may impact on her in the future. The initial offer was rejected and JC arranged for S to meet with an independent medical expert on 12th November who prepared a report outlining his advice. As S’s injuries were ongoing at that point, the expert advised her to re-attend in 12 months by which time a prognosis would hopefully be easier to establish. S agreed to this and in the meantime JC arranged for an interim payment of £1,000 to be paid to S which was agreed by the supermarket’s insurers. Midway through August 2016, S contacted JC to advise she had fully recovered and required no further treatment. Given there was no longer a need for S to attend the medical expert for a second time, JC was able to begin negotiations with the supermarket’s insurers to settle the claim in full. After some negotiation, S accepted the sum of £3,823 in full and final settlement of her claim which included a sum to cover her medical and travel expenses incurred as a result of the injury. Commenting on the case S said the following: “Very professional company, no hassle at any time kept me informed without any constant emails phone calls etc. Would definitely recommend them.”Free Claim Assessment
