Shop Accident Compensation Claims in London
We all understand that this risk of shop accidents are a simple part of everyday life. Unfortunate things can happen to anyone, at anytime, and in all sorts of situations. However, there are accidents that are simply unnecessary, accidents that have simply occurred due to someone else’s error. In London in particular, it is essential that customers and staff alike have a champion on their side when it comes to accidents within our shops and retail premises.
The Retail Sector in London is Massive
It some ways, it is hard to comprehend both the scope and the scale of retailing in London. Greater London Authority Research says that of every £10 spent by Londoners, almost £4 goes to the retail sector.
Around nine per cent of Londoners work for retailers, making it the capital’s third-largest employment sector. With over 40,000 shops in London, retail plays an essential role in supporting Greater London’s network of over 1,300 town centres.
It is also a key contributor to London’s offer to visitors. In 2001 visitors to London spent almost £2 billion in the city’s shops. And of course, closer to home, retailers provides a service on which all Londoners depend for all their daily needs.

When you first call, you will be asked for some details about exactly what has happened. It is worth thinking about this now, in advance of calling. Try writing down the details you remember to jog your memory. Sometimes, even the most seemingly insubstantial detail of information can make all the difference to the outcome of your case – and also to the compensation award we can claim for you.
Here is our checklist of questions that a solicitor will want to know the answers to:
- Tell us what exactly happened to you or the victim of the accident you are assisting?
- Tell us when, where, how and why your accident happened? You should also write down all the important times and date details you can remember, so we can build a picture of the timeline of your claim.
- Tell us who is responsible for your illness or personal injury? Who caused you to be injured?
- Please tell us if you are the victim of the accident or if you are you calling to make a personal injury claim on for someone else?
- Please detail all the financial losses you have endured due to your accident and injuries, as well as all the physical or emotional injuries you (or the person you are representing) have suffered too? It might help to write the information down under separate headings of financial, physical and emotional losses on a sheet of paper. Think of things like bills associated with medical care, lost earnings and also any other losses you have endured in the other categories due to being injured.
When we have got everything straight, we will use everything you have provided us to help establish the facts of your accident. Then we can decide exactly how your information fits together within the law and any legal obligations that might specifically apply to you as a customer, visitor, or staff member at the place where your accident occurred.
