Home Depot Pallet Jack Accident Attorney
Many California residents are dedicated Home Depot patrons because these massive big box stores sell everything needed for a home improvement project, renovation, or simple repairs to plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems. There are even great options for your yard and garden, a new appliance, or decorations for any holiday you can imagine. In addition, there is almost certainly a store in your community or nearby thanks to the nearly 250 Home Depot locations in the state and one of the largest Home Depot in the country right, here in Anaheim Hills with a footprint of over 200,000 square feet.
When shopping in these warehouse stores, you will find row after row of merchandise that is often stacked on shelving that reaches far over your head. Looking up at the 20-plus feet of shelving, it can be easy to find it challenging to watch the items on freestanding displays or palettes left in walkways and aisles. And it can be even more difficult when staff members or other customers move through the store with pallet jacks. These tools are used to move heavily loaded pallets from one area to another using large metal forks. And while this mechanical but human-powered form of a forklift can be helpful, they are also potentially very hazardous.

It is critical to understand that even when a pallet jack is not moving rapidly, there is an immense amount of weight on the pallet in many instances that can cause severe damage to the human body. Even what some would consider a small bump from a loaded pallet jack can cause a person to fall or cause crushing injuries if they are trapped between the pallet and another large object. Patrons of Home Depot should be aware of the potential harm and injuries that are common results of a pallet jack accident, which include:
- Shattered, broken, or fractured bones
- Joint dislocations
- Severe lacerations and puncture wounds that often involve damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
- Compression wounds or crushing injuries
- Damage to the back, neck, or spinal cord
- Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or facial skin
- Skull fractures, severe concussions, brain bleeds, and other traumatic brain injuries
If you are involved in an accident with a pallet jack while at Home Depot, you must seek a medical evaluation to ensure that any injuries are quickly diagnosed, professionally treated, and documented. Swift treatment of these injuries is vital in enjoying the most rapid and complete recovery from your Home Depot pallet jack injuries. After receiving the medical care needed for your wounds, please get in touch with DTLA Law Group to learn more about holding Home Depot liable for any harm suffered in that store due to negligence.
What Is The Legal Obligation Of Home Depot?Premises liability laws were created to protect the safety of patrons, guests, and the general public when they are visiting a public or private property. The guidelines define the obligation of property owners and their staff related to the safety of the property and others while on the property. They cover items like building code or standards and the maintenance needed to ensure the safety of the property. Safety processes are also required to be in place to ensure that guests and staff remain safe while on the property.
In the case of pallet jacks, there are safety guidelines that Home Depot staff must follow to ensure no one is hurt while in the store. The staff must follow safety protocols such as using spotters to ensure no shoppers are hit by a pallet jack and that a pallet is not dropped on someone’s foot. These steps are considered part of their duty of care when using these tools. If the staff does not follow these rules, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if staff negligence is found to have caused or contributed to a patron’s injuries, Home Depot can be held liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. If you feel that staff negligence was a factor in your Home Depot pallet jack injuries, please reach out to DTLA Law Group to discuss the facts of the case with a seasoned personal injury attorney.
Most victims of personal injuries are unaware of the process used to determine the compensation awarded for lawsuits like theirs. Many assume that there are predetermined amounts awarded for certain injuries. Others think the process is more random and assume they will get more money from a company like Home Depot than if they suffered the same injury at a smaller business. But none of these assumptions are accurate. Instead, the legal system invests a great deal of time to evaluate the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim to ensure they are fully and fairly compensated for the losses and harm they sustained.
Working closely with your DTLA Law Group Home Depot pallet jack injury attorney you will compile all the documentation needed to determine the amount of compensation for your injury lawsuit. The items used in this process typically include but are not strictly limited to:
- All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the treatment and rehabilitation of your injuries sustained at Home Depot
- The replacement cost of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the injury incident at Home Depot
- All legal fees associated with preparing, filing, and litigating your Home Depot pallet jack injury lawsuit
- Your lost income if the injuries suffered in the Home Depot pallet jack incident prevent you from working until you are fully recovered or if you miss work to attend essential medical appointments related to those injuries

Because this is not a documented amount, your DTLA Law Group legal team will provide guidance in selecting a reasonable amount based on recently resolved cases with similar details to ensure you are fully compensated for the time and pain you suffered.
