Can I Make an Aldi Accident Claim?

Aldi, like all supermarkets, owes a legal duty of care to customers, staff and visitors. Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 supermarkets must take reasonable steps to ensure that their premises are safe.

You may be entitled to claim compensation if your accident was caused by negligence, such as:

• Wet floors without warning signs
• Spillages left unattended
• Loose tiles or damaged flooring
• Poorly stacked shelves causing falling items
• Obstructed aisles
• Potholes or uneven surfaces in Aldi car parks
• Poor lighting in store or outside areas

Our Aldi accident claims solicitors will assess whether Aldi breached its duty of care and whether that breach caused your injury.

Slips, Trips and Falls in Aldi Stores

Slips and trips are among the most common supermarket accidents. Aldi stores are busy environments with high footfall, chilled aisles, and regular restocking. Hazards can arise quickly.

Common causes of in-store accidents include:

Wet Floors

Spillages from food or drink can create serious slip hazards. Aldi should have cleaning and inspection systems in place to identify and remove risks promptly.

Loose Packaging or Debris

Items left in walkways or fallen packaging can lead to trip injuries, especially for elderly shoppers.

Faulty Flooring

Cracked tiles, raised flooring or damaged mats at entrances can cause sudden falls.
Injuries from slips and trips can include fractures, sprains, head injuries and back injuries. Even seemingly minor falls can result in long term pain or mobility problems.

Aldi Car Park Accident Claims

Accidents are not limited to the store itself. Aldi car parks can also present hazards, including:

• Potholes and uneven tarmac
• Poor drainage leading to standing water or ice
• Inadequate lighting
• Poorly maintained pedestrian walkways

If Aldi failed to maintain a safe car park and you were injured as a result, you may have grounds to claim compensation.

Our personal injury lawyers will investigate who was responsible for maintaining the car park and pursue the correct party on your behalf.

How Much Compensation Could I Receive for an Aldi Accident?

Responsibility for an injury on supermarket premises, whether inside the store or in the car park, usually lies with the store owner or operator. Major UK retailers, including Asda, Waitrose, and Lidl, are required to have strict systems for risk assessments, cleaning, and maintenance. When staff fail to adhere to these procedures, and an injury results, the supermarket can be found negligent.

Our personal injury solicitors in Manchester will collect critical evidence such as CCTV footage, accident book entries, witness statements, and maintenance logs. This information helps us to prove the breach of duty of care and ensure your claim is fully supported.

Injury Type	Estimated Compensation Range
Minor soft tissue injury	£1,000 – £4,000
Wrist or ankle fracture	£6,000 – £15,000
Serious back injury	£15,000 – £40,000
Moderate head injury	£15,000 – £45,000
Severe injury with long term impact	£50,000+
