What Sort of Injuries Have Home Depot Shoppers Sustained?
Fortunately, the majority of slip and fall accidents at retailers such as Home Depot do not result in severe or life-threatening injuries. However, critical injuries can take place as a result of slipping and falling on food, liquids or cleaning supplies that have been spilled.
