This will be dealt with differently than the law in England. I can't comment on Scottish laws and indeed, only academically comment on English law as I am not legally qualified in any way! I think this could come under Occupier's liability but in English law there may be a defence of contributary negligence ( if the thing she wanted to get off the shelf was too high, why not ask an assistant?) I think she will have to fight a hard case to win.
