MORRISONS FALL - THEY DENY SO SOLICITOR WON'T NOW ACT!

I would be interested to know if anyone knows of a website anywhere which discusses accident claims against supermarkets.  I was claiming against Morrisons after slipping on a wet patch on the floor.  I had a photo of the wet patch and the piece of paper that made me slip; morrisons staff were useless until my husband raised a fuss as I was clearly quite badly injured.  They eventually offered to call an ambulance and provided me with a chair, offered first aid, took details, cleaned up the wet floor (the manager himself did this) etc.  However, my solicitors now tell me that they won't pursue a claim because Morrisons deny liability. Well of course they are hardly going to jump up and down shouting we did it are they?  I sustained quite a nasty twisting injury to my knee which necessitated a visit to the hospital. immobilisation and strong painkillers.  I don't see how anyone can just turn round and say, "nope, they say they have a 'clean as they go' policy and therefore they must be right!  I nearly took the woman in front of me down at the same time when I fell but, due to the behaviour of a member of staff (who I believe has subsequently been sacked), and the lack of immediate assistance from staff when I was on the floor, the lady paid for her shopping and left without me getting any details.  My husband asked for a copy of the first aid book showing my accident (asked at the time) but they refused so we have no idea whether it was even entered in their book (they took the details down on a tiny scrap of paper).  I'd like to find out if anyone else has had this type of response and then been successful.  Perhaps my solicitor works for Morrisons too!  I feel I have been treated very shabbily by both solicitor and Morrisons who refused until 11 months after the incident and despite a Court Order to even provide details of their defence or documents!  Thanks for any advice.

Hi, I used to work for morrisons before I left to go to university and what has happened is blatent negligence from morrisons and from the way they have treated it's a shambles to be quite honest!! Your solicitors seems hopeless and the case is not going to go anywhere until they try!!  I did a similar injury not long ago in front of a greggs where one of the staff members had wet the floor. The company I used was Claimwise they helped me to secure compensation from them.

Good Luck

Well even injurylawyers4u won't take on Morrisons because they state they have a "clean as you go" policy which apparently gets them out of any claims - shame they don't clean as they go and that way I wouldn't have fallen.  apparently they can't be expected to follow everyone around the store - fair enough - but they should admit they were in the wrong especially when their manager offered an ambulance because I was so badly hurt.  Oh well, I tried but Morrisons and me are over!

Have your tried Accident claim helpers. My aunt had a slip case that happened in ASDA and they settled it down. I can give you their number and then you might as well contact them. They are good i guess and will take your case only if they think if there is any way of getting it settled thus avoiding your time waist.
their number is 02077910789
