Tampa Home Depot Injury Accident Lawyer

Thousands of customers visit Home Depot every day for their home improvement needs. As one of the country's largest home improvement stores, Home Depot is popular with people searching for supplies for home repairs and cleaning, do-it-yourself projects, and lawn care.

With wide-open aisles and shelves stacked high with tools and household supplies, Home Depot stores feel inviting when you walk through the door.

Whether you were hit by falling merchandise or were tripped and fell in the parking lot, you could be badly hurt when shopping at Home Depot.

Typical causes of injuries in a Tampa Home Depot store accident include:

• Wet floors: Home Depot carries an array of household cleaners, paint, and other liquid solutions. If containers or broken or leaking, the fluid can pool up on the floor and cause someone to slip and fall. Floors may also become wet if rainwater splashes into the entryway or if people track in water from the outside.
• Walkway hazards: Shelves or displays that stick out in the aisle or debris left in the walkway from restocking merchandise may cause someone to trip and fall. Shoppers could be hurt if they get cut by sharp corners on shelves.
• Falling objects: Merchandise that is not safely stored on high shelves could fall and hit a customer below. If shelves do not have proper barriers between aisles, an employee could push inventory onto customers in another aisle as they restock shelves.
• Slick floors: Sawdust from lumber and other wood products may accumulate on the floor, creating a slippery surface for customers as they walk through the store.
• Parking lot accidents: Home Depot customers may drive large trucks or SUVs that are roomy enough to carry lumber, appliances, or other sizable merchandise. Larger vehicles backing out and driving through the lot can be dangerous to shoppers on foot. Home Depot customers may also be hurt if surfaces are broken or uneven in the parking lot. When it rains outside, shoppers could slip and fall on the paint used to designate parking spaces and crosswalks.

If you were hurt at a Tampa Home Depot or any other warehouse store, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. The injuries you sustain may be far more severe than you know and could be further aggravated if you don't get medical help quickly.

Home Depot and other large stores often have legal teams whose sole job is to limit their losses when people get hurt. If you have been severely injured at a Home Depot store, you may be offered a settlement by their attorneys. Settling on your own may seem like a straightforward way to put this incident behind you. Just keep in mind that the settlement offered may not be sufficient to cover your financial needs. You may be out of work longer than you expected. You could require more medical treatment than your doctor initially anticipated. Once you have agreed to the settlement, you won't be entitled to receive more money if you need it.
