5 star client reviewsAt Aequitas Legal, our personal injury experts have helped to secure compensation for many people who have suffered all kinds of injuries in a store, from minor cuts and bruises to serious head and back damage. We will do all we can to ensure that the claims process is not a burden on your recovery, as we know how important it is that you get better.
There are a number of ways you can be injured in a shop, whether you’re an employee or a customer, but the most frequent cause is management and staff failure to follow procedures to keep you from harm. Common accidents caused by negligence include:
No matter how you have been injured, if the accident was caused by somebody else’s negligence, you could be entitled to compensation.
Shop owners and management teams have a duty to keep all employees and customers safe while on their premises. This is carried out by completing regular risk assessments to identify and reduce any hazards. In addition, training must be given to all staff to ensure they are able to complete their work safely with an understanding of the importance of following health and safety rules, for example, tidying up work areas.
Should you, unfortunately, suffer an injury in a shop, there are a number of things you can do to help the success of your claim. However, please remember that these tips are solely to be used as guidance and are not to be considered legal advice.
All personal injury claims must be made within three years of the accident occurring. If your injury was not apparent right away, the three-year time limit begins from the date you were aware your injury was caused by an accident in a shop, also known as the date of knowledge.
Our solicitors will take you through the entire claims process, ensuring you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible. Compensation can help to cover expenses incurred as a result of your injury, including:

My case went on for just over 2 years. The team were very helpful and Matthew made sure i was kept up to date and always asked for my opinion. There was no pressure and he offered his own opinion to help along the way. Thank you very much aequitas legal!
My experience with Aequitas Legal was excellent overall. The process was made very simple and took up very little time on my part, particularly with use of the 'InCase' App and emails. My caseworker, Jane Hargreaves, was very approachable and friendly, and responded to queries promptly. I was expecting my case to take the best part of 6 months to resolve but was settled with my cheque in the post within just a few months. Very impressed at such a stress free and innovative experience and would recommend to others.

Aequitas Legal, a very professional company from Katie who helped with my initial inquiry to Suzanne, the solicitor, who handled my case. I was kept updated regularly on all aspects and developments and given sound advice regarding my claim. I particularly liked using the App on my mobile which was full of useful information. Great customer service with prompt responses to questions and queries, I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Thank you for a quick and easy settlement.
