How Are Home Depot Shoppers Suffering So Many Slip And Fall Injuries?
As you might imagine, in stores that can reach 100,000 square feet, there are many opportunities for safety issues when the staff is not focused on guest safety and maintenance. So, as you walk around your local Home Depot, please be attuned to these potential hazards that might not be getting the swift attention needed to eliminate slip and fall incidents, which include:
- Leaking pipes or hoses
- Damaged or malfunctioning plumbing fixtures that are flooding floors
- Clogged floor drains that are backing up on the floors
- Missing, folded, damaged, or saturated floor mats
- Water, food, or drinks spilled on the floor that were not properly cleaned up
- Small items that fell from shelving that were not picked up
- Water on the concrete in the garden center from overwatering plants
- Moss in covered or shaded areas of the garden center from overwatering
- Litter and debris left in walkways, on sidewalks, or in the parking lot
Damaged merchandise packaging that allows liquids or small granular products to leak onto the floors
If you suffer a slip and fall injury incident at Home Depot, be sure to seek a complete medical evaluation to ensure you receive the proper medical care as rapidly as possible. Many victims fail to seek medical care until the shock of their injury incident wears off, and they realize that they suffered more severe harm than they initially thought. Then, contact the legal experts at Normandie Law Firm to discuss the facts of your case and if you have grounds for a lawsuit.
When Is Home Depot Liable For Your Slip And Fall Injuries?
Just because you slipped and fell at a Home Depot store does not mean you have the right to sue the company. Instead, you need to meet some criteria that fall under premises liability law to be able to file a lawsuit. Premises liability law was created to ensure the safety of guests on public and private properties. It defines the legal obligation of property owners and their staff to protect guest safety by meeting maintenance and inspection requirements.
Duty of care is part of premises liability that defines the actions staff must take when a safety issue is reported to them by a patron, or they discover a safety hazard. It requires the staff to act in at least the same manner as would be taken by the average prudent person. For example, if you found that sand had been spilled on your sidewalk, you would quickly sweep it up to prevent anyone from slipping and falling. If the staff at Home Depot fail to promptly address a safety issue in the appropriate manner, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to a guest’s injuries, the store can be held liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. If you feel that staff negligence was a factor in your Home Depot slip and fall injuries, please reach out to the Normandie Law Firm team today to discuss the incident with a personal injury attorney.
How Much Is The Average Home Depot Slip And Fall Lawsuit Worth?
Many victims of a Home Depot slip and fall injury want to know more about the average lawsuit compensation amount. However, they do not understand that the average case amount will not really shed any light on the amount they could receive for their case. The information they really need to understand is that each lawsuit compensation amount is based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim.
You will work closely with your Normandie Law Firm legal team to compile all the documentation to verify your allowable expenses, which typically include but are not strictly limited to:
- All legal costs to prepare, file, and litigate your Home Depot slip and fall injury lawsuit
- Your lost income if the Home Depot slip and fall injuries you sustained prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully recovered or if you must miss work to attend essential medical care for those injuries
- The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the Home Depot slip and fall injury incident
- All current and projected future medical care costs related to the injuries suffered in the Home Depot slip and fall incident
How Long Do I Have To Sue Home Depot?
Victims of personal injuries, such as a slip and fall incident at Home Depot caused by staff negligence, have two years to file their lawsuit with the court. The time limit begins on the date of the injury incident and ends promptly after two years. It is critical to understand that there are very few exceptions that would provide the victim with additional time to file a claim once the time limit has passed. In most instances, once the time has passed, the victim loses the right to seek justice and compensation for the losses and expenses created due to that incident.
