Lidl accident claimsslip, trip & fall compensation
Quick answer
You may be able to claim if you were injured in a Lidl store because of a hazard staff should have dealt with, such as a spillage. In England and Wales the claim is made against Lidl Great Britain Limited under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, usually within three years. We act in England and Wales only.
Lidl operates a similar low-cost, high-pallet model to Aldi. Its bakery counters and self-service tongs introduce additional spillage and contamination hazards.

After an accident in Lidl: 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.
