Possible Accidents at Costco

Wholesalers have to adhere to strict health and safety standards set out by the government’s Health and Safety Executive and other standard-setting organisations. If you have experienced an accident in a wholesaler that was due to the company’s inability to follow health and safety regulations or simply due to staff negligence, then you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries. While there are numerous different ways in which an accident can occur in a wholesaler, below are some of the more common methods of injury:

• Falling on wet or slippery surfaces

• Hit by heavy produce due to items not being stacked properly

• Falling due to uneven flooring or another uneven surface

• Injured due to a shopping trolley or a cage being left unattended and in an obstructing place

No matter the method of injury, if the accident was not your fault you may be owed compensation.

• Take photos of what has happened-injuries and the scene of the accident.
• Get the details of any witnesses to the accident.

AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION in Costco Injury Claims

All personal injury cases are unique and so the amount of compensation that is awarded in each case is also unique. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two specific factors – general damages and special damages.

GENERAL DAMAGES

The pain and suffering that your injuries have caused is the main factor that is used to determine how much compensation you are owed.

SPECIAL DAMAGES

However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work.

Except for children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident occurred. You should contact a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible to assess your case.
