Bronx Home Depot Accidents
Click For Your Free ConsulationHome Depot is one of the nation’s most prominent retailers, specializing in home-improvement items and gardening merchandise. It’s not only popular for a quick run-in to purchase a necessary tool, but many families find it a welcoming environment for weekend browsing. Unfortunately, Home Depot also has hard cement floors, towering shelves filled with heavy objects, and forklifts moving large items between aisles.

All property owners have a duty to take reasonable care to maintain a property that’s free from safety hazards. Store proprietors have an enhanced responsibility to address safety hazards because they invite customers to their property for commercial transactions. As an “invitee” to a property, you have a right to a reasonable expectation of safety inside a Home Depot store.
If you or a close family member suffered an injury at a Bronx Home Depot store, you have the right to hold the store financially accountable for damages like medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering.
Home Depot sells large, heavy, and dangerous items such as lumber, bags of cement, doors, windows, chemical products, and appliances. Common causes of accidents and injuries in Bronx Home Depot stores include:
Home Depot store managers are responsible for spotting and promptly addressing safety hazards to customers. If they violate this duty of reasonable care and a customer is injured, the customer can demand financial accountability through the store’s liability insurance — a Bronx premises liability lawyer will help you pursue the compensation you deserve for the injuries you sustained.
Because of the type of merchandise sold in Home Depot stores, customers sometimes suffer serious or even catastrophic injuries in store accidents. Injuries in Bronx Home Depot accident claims include:
Serious injuries are painful, expensive to treat, and may interfere with the injury victim’s ability to work and accomplish daily routines. These are the “damages” in a Home Depot store accident claim in The Bronx.
Injuries can quickly cause financial hardship with a single emergency room bill and a few days of lost pay. When an injury is more serious or causes temporary or permanent disability, the damages are more extensive. A successful personal injury claim against a Home Depot store could recover compensation such as the following:
Depending on the severity of the injury and resulting damages, compensation may be available for specific losses such as the loss of a limb, loss of vision, loss of hearing, loss of enjoyment of life due to disability, or disfigurement. If a loved one died due to injuries suffered in an accident in a Bronx Home Depot store, a wrongful death claim could recover compensation for a close family member.
A successful personal injury claim against a Home Depot store in The Bronx requires careful navigation, including an investigation, documented evidence of store liability, and a well-executed claim against the store. Compensation typically comes from the store’s commercial liability insurance. Without assertive legal representation, the insurance company may protect its profits at your expense.
