Tampa Home Depot Accidents

If you were hurt in a slip and fall or other accident at your local Home Depot store, you need to call the best Tampa personal injury attorney around. While you might want to settle quickly on your own, this is usually not in your best interest. Big companies, like Home Depot, may push you to settle fast to limit what they payout.

Home Depot is the largest home improvement chain in the country. It carries just about everything you need for improvements around your home. Thousands of people are drawn to Home Depot stores every day to purchase what they need for simple repairs, major renovations, or gardening.

Averaging over 100,000 square feet, these large warehouse stores are packed floor-to-ceiling with paint, tile, lumber, tools, and garden equipment. Merchandise stacked on high shelves and top-heavy displays pose a danger to customers. Heavy or loose items can easily fall if they are aren’t adequately secured, injuring those browsing the aisles below.

You, or someone you love, can be seriously hurt when hit by an object that has fallen off of a shelf, display, or ladder. Falling objects can strike, even crush, those below. Lightweight objects can cause serious injury if they fall a long way. If a falling item hits you, it can cause such physical damage such as;

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Damage to internal organs
• Neck or back pain
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord damage
• Deep cuts and lacerations

Serious injuries dramatically change your life. In some cases, they can be permanent. Severe trauma to your brain may interfere with your ability to concentrate and think. A significant injury to the brain can impact your mobility or impair your speech. While broken bones heal, they can impair your ability to move around.

Retailers must ensure that people who visit their store can do so safely. Known as premise liability, retailers must keep their stores in a reasonably safe condition. If a retailer knows of a specific hazard, such as restocking an aisle or a newly-mopped floor, they have a responsibility to let you know.

If you were hurt in a Home Depot store due to someone else’s negligence, you might be entitled to receive compensation to help you pay for your medical bills. These monetary damages may also cover additional care that you need in your home, rehabilitation, and loss of income if you can’t work.
