A more personal approach to your Victorian injury claim.

If you’re injured in an accident like a slip and fall at a supermarket or shopping centre in Victoria, management can be held liable if they knew or should have known about the hazard and did nothing about it.

We’ve helped many people get compensation for shopping centre accident injuries, but we understand your situation is unique, and you’re different from every one of them. Getting you more compensation starts with building a personal relationship with you, to truly understand your situation.

There’s no cost to speak to a Victorian-based public liability lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much you can claim.

Our supermarket and shopping centre injury lawyers will get you more compensation.

Injuries sustained in shopping centre or supermarket accidents often mean time off work, unplanned expenses and financial stress. But we’re here to help. We get to know you and your family to learn about your life before you were injured. We look beyond your injuries, to understand your work, family, social and financial situation. Then we look at what’s changed. Many of our clients’ injuries have led to other life complications and health issues. By getting to know you personally we identify these issues and claim all your entitlements. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with Law Partners on your side.


What supermarket and shopping centre injuries can I claim for?

The most common accidents in supermarkets and shopping centres are slips, trips and falls. Common causes of slips, trips and falls in shopping centres include:

  • Spills and dropped food items
  • Failure to mop up liquid spills as soon as they happen
  • Not clearing up litter and debris, especially broken glass
  • Not placing non-slip mats in areas where slip hazards are likely
  • Failure to place signage down to warn of hazards such as freshly mopped floors or water leaks
  • Poor lighting

No matter how you’ve been injured, you can call Law Partners and get free legal advice on whether you can claim compensation.

How our Victorian shopping centre injury lawyers can help you.

Your Victorian-based Law Partners public injury lawyer will:

Gather evidence of your supermarket or shopping centre injury, which may include photos of the hazard that caused your accident, CCTV footage, statements from witnesses and accident reports from the centre management.

Have your injuries assessed by a doctor. We need medical evidence such as scans and x-rays to prove what injuries you suffered from the accident.

Identify the public liability insurer we’ll be claiming against and submit your supermarket or shopping centre injury claim. If the insurer accepts liability then it’s likely it will offer you a settlement payment.

Most of our claims are settled without the need for court action, but if the insurer rejects liability or we’re unable to settle out of court, we may need to take court action to get your compensation.


Supermarket and shopping centre injury FAQs.

If you’ve been injured in a supermarket or shopping centre, it’s likely your compensation claim will be successful if:

  • Your accident could have been avoided if the supermarket or shopping centre management had taken action to prevent it.
  • You’ve incurred losses as a result of your injuries, such as lost wages through time of work and treatment costs.

We have extensive experience with Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, Westfield and other shopping centre compensation claims, and we win over 99% of our cases. We can advise you over the phone on whether your claim is likely to succeed.

No win no fee public injury lawyers offer to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.

When you make a public liability claim, you’re claiming the defendant is liable for your injuries. If the defendant admits liability, then their public liability insurer is likely to offer you a sum of money as compensation – this is known as a settlement. If we can’t come to an agreement on the settlement amount, or if the defendant denies liability, then we have the option of taking them to court and letting a judge decide on the outcome – this is known as litigation.

Most of our claims are settled out of court. Your Law Partners public injury lawyer will keep you informed about your claim regularly and advise you on your options.

I am 110% satisfied with the result, I got a better result than expected after following my lawyer’s advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Law Partners to others.

Got the outcome I was hoping for. I highly recommend Law Partners.

Karen Larkins gave Law Partners a

I first came across Law Partners after a Google search and seeing their many awards for Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year. I decided to make contact with Law Partners to assist me with a claim for multiple psychological injuries sustained in my workplace. From my first meeting to now being further down the line with my claim, Law Partners have been very professional, compassionate & understanding of my situation guiding me gently through the process, explaining things very clearly that I had no trouble in understanding. A special shout out to Lauren Bergan & Jasmine Dean who are in my corner working extremely hard to ensure I receive maximum compensation & that organisations are held to account for mistreating their staff. I still have a way to go with my claim but having Lauren & Jasmine with me makes me feel more confident about the situation. I can highly recommend Law Partners to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation to myself. I award them 5 stars out of 5 stars! Well done Law Partners, keep fighting for us injured workers.

Just had my first phone call, and so far feel relieved. Matthew who took my initial inquiry was empathetic and professional and Antonela who discussed my potential case was professional, courteous and warm. It made me feel like someone was on my side and I wasn’t alone. I wish I’d called sooner.
