Shopping Centre Injury Claims

Have you suffered serious injury as a result of slipping, tripping or falling in a shopping centre? If you have injured yourself while shopping due to a hazardous environment, that you believe could have been prevented, we can help.

Shopping centre injuries, which fall under public liability claims, are expected to provide their customers a safe environment, and to do their best to avoid accidents that can be prevented. The reality of shopping centres and supermarkets is that shoppers are often distracted and not looking where they are walking. Because of this, shopping centres owe a duty of care to make sure their floors are properly swept and cleaned, with any spills frequently cleaned up.

The shopping centre's 'duty of care' generally only extends to 'reasonably foreseeable' harm. For instance, if a cleaner leaves their equipment container unattended in a pedestrian area of the center, which then causes a customer to trip and injure themselves - this is foreseeable. On the other hand, if a customer is assaulted by another customer and injured for example - There may legal consequences, but the shopping centre would likely not be liable for compensation.

If you've slipped, tripped or fallen in a shopping centre - CMC Lawyers will act in the, most effective way to ensure you get the compensation for your suffering, and ensure that minimal stress is endured by you and your loved ones.

We can help you achieve compensation, including loss of earnings, pain and suffering, medical expenses, rehabilitation, and loss of life quality.

The following injuries or circumstances generally entitle you (as a victim) to make a compensation claim for a shopping centre injury:

• You injured yourself as a result of a foreseeable hazard - If you believe the shopping center did not provide proper care and a safe environment, you may be entitled to a compensation claim.
• Slippery Floors: Because of the high potential of not only shopping centre staff, but customers leaving items unattended and spilling liquids that could be hazardous to others - Shopping centres have a strict responsibility to regularly monitor and attend to any hazards that could cause injuries to others.
• Doors: Faulty, broken or malfunctioning doors and passageways.
• Obstructions: Such as pallets, boxes, produce or missing/poorly placed entry and exit mats.
• Escalator or shopping trolley accidents.
• Other: Have you been injured in or near a shopping centre , but your injury doesn't fall under these circumstances? You may still have a claim.
• Not sure if you have a shopping centre injury claim? - We understand that claiming compensation from shopping centres can be a lengthy, uncomfortable or confusing process.
