The Responsibility of Lidl

Lidl have a duty of care to ensure the safety of all of their customers and employees while they are at the premises of Lidl. This includes ensuring that all staff are properly trained about how to make the stores safe and about what procedures to follow if an accident does occur. The necessary health and safety procedures are outlined by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

If you have been injured while in a Lidl supermarket, you should tell a manager or ask the closest staff member to alert a manager for you. The manager should then be able to help you fill in an accident report in the accident book, a document that all businesses are legally required to have. It is important that you check this report carefully in order to make sure that it records the circumstances of your accident accurately.

It doesn’t matter whether you were a customer or an employee when the accident happened, you deserve to make a Lidl accident claim if you have been injured. If you were injured as an employee, your employer should have provided you with any training that you needed to safely complete your job role. They should have also ensured that your work premises were safe, such as ensuring that all shelves are safely secured to the wall. Furthermore, your fellow employees should have helped to uphold the expected health and safety standards within the store. Contact First Personal Injury to make a Lidl accident claim today.

Lidl Accident Claim Types

Accidents can happen anywhere. However, certain accident types are more likely to occur within a supermarket environment than others. Some of the most most common accidents to occur inside a Lidl store include:

• Slip, trip and fall accidents – these types of accidents are likely to be caused by a food/liquid spillage or a recently cleaned floor where a sign has not been placed close by to indicate that the floor is wet.
• Tripping over obstructions on the floor, such as packaging, wires or other obstacles which have been improperly placed in walkways.
• Falling object accidents – being struck by an object that has fallen from a shelf. This type of accident is especially common if you are an employee who has access to the stockroom or works in the warehouse.
• Manufacturing accidents – such as suffering an electric shock from an electrical item within the store.
• Food poisoning – caused by out of date or poorly prepared food being sold in the store.
• Injuries that occur in the car park – such as being hit by a moving vehicle while walking through the car park. You could also suffer a slip, trip and fall accident if the car park ground is badly maintained.

If you have been hurt in an accident of any kind while in the premises of a Lidl supermarket, car park or warehouse, you could be eligible to claim compensation. To find out how to make a Lidl accident claim and to find out how much compensation you could be owed, you should speak to a personal injury solicitor directly.

Amount Of Compensation For A Lidl Accident Claim

Compensation amounts are understood by looking at the individual details of the case, taking into account the amount of pain and suffering that the injuries have caused, as well as the impact of the injuries upon the person’s ability to function/their amenity.

To view compensation estimates for certain injuries, visit our compensation calculator. For example, if your elbow was injured due to an accident in Lidl, you could be awarded anywhere between £2,810 – £43,710 in compensation. In contrast, if you suffered a minor shoulder injury, the compensation awarded is likely to be between £1,950 – £6,290. As you can see, compensation varies greatly depending upon the specifics of the case.

If you have suffered financial losses as a result of your accident, such as a loss of income due to being unable to work, or you have incurred additional expenses such as paying for treatment, then it may be possible to claim these costs back as part of your claim. However, it is important to remember that compensation is calculated on an individual basis, so the best way to determine how much compensation you are likely to receive in your specific circumstances is to speak directly to a personal injury solicitor.
