Can I claim if I slipped at an Asda petrol station or Asda Express?

Possibly. The legal duty sits with whoever occupies and controls the site, and forecourts and convenience stores branded Asda are not always run by Asda Stores Limited. Working out the right defendant is part of the assessment, so tell us the site address and date.

I was hurt in an Asda car park. Is that the same as a slip in the store?

Similar legal duties can apply, but the car park may be controlled by Asda, a landlord, a retail park manager or a parking operator. Photograph signage naming the operator and the hazard (pothole, ice, lighting). See our car park claims guide for the evidence that helps.

Does a George clothing rail or hanger on the floor count as a hazard?

It can. Stray hangers, tags and unstable rails are foreseeable trip hazards in clothing areas, and stores are expected to inspect and clear them. As always, how long it was there and what checks were in place will matter.

I work at Asda and was injured at work. Is that covered here?

Employees are owed different duties by their employer than customers are owed by an occupier. Tell us you were working at the time and we will look at your situation individually.

Asda accident claimsslip, trip & fall compensation

Quick answer

You may be able to claim if you were injured in a Asda store because of a hazard staff should have dealt with, such as a spillage. In England and Wales the claim is made against Asda Stores Limited under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, usually within three years. We act in England and Wales only.

Asda Stores Limited operates large-format superstores, and Asda-branded convenience stores and forecourts also exist (not all are run by Asda itself). With its George clothing range, in-store opticians and pharmacy counters, Asda stores present a varied hazard profile.

Recurring hazards

The four most common Asda accident scenarios our solicitors see

George clothing trip hazards

Stray hangers, loose tags and unsecured rails are recurring causes of falls.

Petrol forecourt slips

Diesel and oil spills and wet pump bays are recognised forecourt hazards; who operates the site should be checked.

Bakery and rotisserie aisles

Greasy floor surfaces around hot food counters.

Car park surface defects

Potholes, worn markings and poor lighting are common car park hazards at any large store.

After an accident in Asda: what helps

Get medical help and keep the records. Treatment notes link your injury to the accident.
Report it before you leave if you can. Ask for the accident book entry and a copy or reference number. No report does not end a claim, but a record helps.
Photograph the hazard and the area. Include the floor, any warning signs, mats and your footwear, and note the time.
Get witness details. Staff names and other shoppers can matter later.
Ask for CCTV to be preserved. Request it from the store in writing and keep a copy.
