Why do Lowe's store accidents happen?

Lowe's is a home improvement and hardware store. Because of this, many items you see on display at Lowe's could be dangerous. Some items sold at Lowe's are sharp, unwieldy, and hard to move because of their size, shape, or weight. Some items may stick out and be left on the floor by the store employees who were re-stocking inventory or customers who moved things on a shelf to get to others.

In addition to merchandise clutter in the aisle, the flooring could be slippery and covered with grease, oil, wax, or dust.

Finally, some items are stored very high on the shelves and can fall if not properly secured.

All of these can cause trip, slip, and fall accidents.

Can I sue Lowe's for slip and fall?

Not all slip and fall accidents at Lowe's result in large verdicts. Many factors determine if you have a legal claim. Two of the most important are:

• Did your accident result in minor scratches and bruises, or did you end up in a hospital?
• Do you lose earnings or the ability to earn money after the accident?

Other things that can affect your claim include:

• Do you have eyewitness information?
• Do you have photos/videos of the accident area?
• Did you notify the Lowe's store management, and did they file an incident report?
• Was the slip and fall accident a result of the store's negligence?
• Could the store prevent this accident?

The Lowe's store will use surveillance footage of the accident area to verify your statements and confirm that the dangerous condition existed and for how long.

If your slip and fall accident at Lowe's store resulted in a severe injury, requires expensive medical care, and will require medical treatment in the future, if you lost earnings or your ability to work after the accident, call us at 702-432-1000 to discuss your case. We helped many victims of slip and fall accidents to get their fair and full accident compensation.

When is the store liable for an accident?

Under Nevada law, the negligent party responsible for an accident is financially liable for all damages, and it should compensate the victim for medical bills, lost wages, damaged property, and pain and suffering.

So, if the management of Lowe's store negligently maintained the premises and failed to warn about dangerous conditions, or the store didn't act reasonably fast to correct the situation - the store is liable for an accident.

Time limits to file a lawsuit

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for all personal injury claims is generally limited to two (2) years. All trip, slip and fall accidents at Lowe's store fall into this category.

If you are partly at fault

Nevada is a comparative negligence state. It means you are still entitled to accident compensation even if you are partially at fault (less than 51%). The comparative negligence rule applies to all Lowe's accidents.
