Coles Supermarket Accident Claims
Injured in a Coles Supermarket Accident?
Have you been injured in an accident while shopping at Coles or any other Australian supermarket? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Stacks Goudkamp have successfully obtained lump sum compensation for many clients injured at Coles.
Common Coles Supermarket Accidents Claims
Supermarket accidents such as slip and falls, tripping over empty pallets, and being knocked by a trolley while grocery shopping are unfortunately more common than you may think. These accidents can lead to serious injuries, resulting in costly medical bills, loss of wages, and permanent injuries, significantly impacting your life.
Entitlement to Compensation After a Slip and Fall
Supermarkets like Coles have public liability insurance to cover any injuries caused by their negligence. However, simply having an accident and being injured at Coles does not automatically entitle you to compensation. You must prove that Coles were negligent and failed to have a reasonable system of cleaning and inspection in place to identify the hazard that caused your accident.
For example, if a liquid substance caused you to slip and fall, and the spill had just occurred shortly before your accident, it is unlikely that Coles would be found negligent. Conversely, if the spill had been on the ground for a long time and Coles failed to identify or clean it up, they would likely be found negligent.
Establishing Negligence
Establishing negligence and a breach of duty of care can be tricky. Stacks Goudkamp can provide you with advice regarding your prospects of establishing negligence against Coles and ensure that all possible evidence is obtained to prove their negligence.
