A high proportion of accidents at supermarkets involve customers slipped or tripping over and injuring themselves, often through no fault of their own, but rather due to the negligence of the supermarket or a member of its staff. To make a successful claim it will be necessary to show that the supermarket knew or should have known about a hazard that caused an accident, but failed to take the necessary action that would have prevented the accident from happening. Slipping accidents at supermarkets fall into three main categories:

Slips on spillages inside supermarkets: Customers may spill products creating a slipping hazard for other shoppers (and staff). If a supermarket fails to identify a spillage and cleaning staff fail to clear it up within a reasonable time frame, the supermarket will be liable if a customer or employee slips over on it and injures themselves.

Slips on wet floors inside supermarkets: Cleaning staff may fail to dry floor surfaces properly after mopping, leaving them wet, slippery and potentially dangerous. If a floor is in this kind of state after an area of a supermarket has been recently cleaned, wet floor warning signs should be in place and clearly visible to prevent customers from accessing the area.

Slips on ice and snow in winter: Slush may be trampled into supermarkets by customers, potentially making floor surfaces around entrances and exits slippery and hazardous. Rock salt (grit) must also be laid down in adequate quantities in supermarket car parks during freezing conditions, both before a supermarket opens for the day and throughout the day at regular intervals to minimise the possibility of slipping accidents.
