Injuries at Home Depot

Home Depot operates thousands of stores in the United States and attracts millions of customers annually, as they are one of the biggest, most well-known retailers of home improvement and construction materials in the country. Home Depot sells a number of potentially dangerous products, and their warehouse-style outlet stores also create an opportunity for customers to be injured within their walls. If you believe that a negligent employee or manager was responsible for an injury you sustained at a Home Depot, call the professional personal injury attorneys at Altman & Altman LLP today.

Injuries can happen at Home Depot in many ways. Perhaps an employee didn’t mop a floor during a rainstorm, leaving a slippery spot in an area of high foot traffic and leading to a slip-and-fall injury made all the worse by the fact that Home Depot uses concrete for all their flooring. Such an injury can lead to a broken hip, torn tendons in the knee or other seriously debilitating injuries.

Perhaps a worker is restocking a high shelf with the aid of a forklift and slips on the controls, causing a payload to fall from a great height and landing on a customer below. Such an incident can lead to a crushing injury, which may result in serious injuries to the spinal column or other area of the skeleton.

In order to prove that Home Depot is at fault for an injury which resulted from being in one of their stores, it must be proven that either an employee or a manager responsible for employees was negligent in their duties to keep their customers safe. Proving this may be difficult, but your chances of doing so in a civil case are much higher when you have an experienced professional injury team on your side.

We will hold negligent employees who harm innocent customers accountable for their mistakes, and help you earn financial compensation to help ease your pain and suffering.
