A Marietta man injured when a pallet of plywood fell on him while shopping at Home Depot was recently awarded $1.5 million dollars by a Georgia jury. As an Atlanta personal injury attorney representing victims in premises liability claims, this was an excellent result for the Plaintiff. Do-it-yourself warehouses such as Lowes and Home Depot are extremely dangerous venues, and personal injury claims are common.
Premise liability lawyers in Atlanta and throughout Georgia are able to request that a jury award their Clients compensation for the financial damages (medical bills, lost wages, etc.) that they have incurred via a personal injury, as well as for the pain and suffering that they have incurred incidental to their injuries. In the Atlanta Home Depot personal injury premise liability case, the jury awarded the Plaintiff medical expenses in the amount of $120,000.00.
In addition to compensation for his pain and suffering and for his medical expenses, the Plaintiff was also awarded a sum for past and future lost wages. His wife was also awarded $30,000.00 for her loss of consortium.
