Supermarket Injury Claim Settled – Compensation Secured by Belfast Solicitor at Phoenix Law

If you are searching for a solicitor in Belfast or a personal injury solicitor in Northern Ireland after an accident, Phoenix Law can help.

Phoenix Law has successfully secured a five-figure compensation settlement for a client who suffered a hand injury while shopping in a supermarket in Northern Ireland.

How the Supermarket Accident Happened

On 15 November 2025, our client was shopping in a supermarket when she sustained a painful laceration to her finger. The injury was caused by an opened tin that had been left exposed on a shelf by an unknown third party.

The sharp, unprotected edge of the tin posed a clear and avoidable hazard to customers. Supermarkets and retail stores in Belfast and across Northern Ireland have a legal duty of care to ensure their premises are safe for members of the public. In this case, appropriate safety checks and monitoring procedures were not maintained, resulting in injury.

Public Liability Claims in Belfast and Northern Ireland

This case falls under public liability law, which covers accidents that occur in shops, supermarkets, restaurants, shopping centres and other public places.

If you have been injured in a supermarket, you may be entitled to claim compensation for:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical treatment costs
• Loss of earnings
• Travel expenses
• Ongoing care or rehabilitation

Our experienced Belfast personal injury solicitors handled negotiations on behalf of our client, and the supermarket agreed to pay a five-figure sum in damages following representations made by Phoenix Law.

Statement from Phoenix Law

Mrs Danielle Cromie of Phoenix Law commented:

“Retailers have a responsibility to ensure that store environments are safe for customers. Even seemingly minor hazards can lead to injury if appropriate checks and safety measures are not maintained. We are pleased to have secured a swift resolution for our client.”
