Morrisons accident claimsslip, trip & fall compensation
Quick answer
You may be able to claim if you were injured in a Morrisons store because of a hazard staff should have dealt with, such as a spillage. In England and Wales the claim is made against Wm Morrison Supermarkets Limited under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, usually within three years. We act in England and Wales only.
Morrisons is known for its 'Market Street' fresh food counters — butcher, fishmonger, deli and bakery — which create a higher concentration of wet, greasy and slippery surfaces than most rivals.

The four most common Morrisons accident scenarios our solicitors see
Fishmonger and butcher counters
Ice melt, blood and water from rinsing are persistent hazards.
Salad bar drips
Hot and cold salad bars routinely leak onto the floor.
Bakery flour spillage
Open bakery preparation areas trail flour across the aisle.
Loose mats at entrances
Curled or worn entry matting causes trips on arrival.
After an accident in Morrisons: 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.
