you can claim negligence if the store did not take precautions to provide you with a safe environment. You will be able to recover your medical expenses and expenses for any future care, and possibly pain and suffering. Get a lawyer and have them retrieve the store surveillance video before it is discarded.
Good luck

You have a very good case, you were kept in hospital and even if you weren't your casualty card is all the solicitors need.
They will apply to the hospital for your medical records on your behalf. It doesn't matter whether or not health and safety were involved or even if an accident book was available.

There is no need for Health and Safety to be involved.
Yes it is illegal for there not to be an Accident Report form available.
You have a case, but only if you reported it to the store or they initially treated you.
I would not use one of these 'no win, no fee' groups that advertise on TV.
A good lawyer is all you need.

initially, you may want to get a tetnus shot. second of all, stitches in case you want them. in spite of the undeniable fact that, if the harm is minor and also you probably did no longer ought to even see the well being care specialist, your case might want to not in any respect arise in courtroom. And, in case you probably did take this declare to courtroom, the courtroom might want to more effective than likely order that the food market pay your clinical charges. you do not get enormous money except you've a large harm

No proof, means plausible deniability,
Negligence or stupidity.
That is the question.
