Brenda McMullen filed a negligence lawsuit against Lowe’s for injuries she suffered after piled pavers fell on top of her. The case was filed in a Madison County courthouse in Indiana, but has since been transferred to a federal court in Indianapolis based on diversity jurisdiction, and the belief that damages, though currently unspecified, could reach over $75,000.
Pavers Falling Down
Suing for negligence, McMullen asserts that Lowe’s improperly stacked and stored pavers, which fell and struck her. She sustained physical and psychological injuries, which she alleges could be permanent. She continues to have physical pain and suffering. McMullen has also incurred medical bills from such injuries, which she believes will continue since she may have permanent bodily harm.
Lowe’s has been sued in various Negligence Lawsuits
Lowe’s was sued for a similar claim a few months ago in nearby Warsaw, Indiana. In that situation, it was timber boards falling on a customer instead of pavers.
Lowe’s may have a policy of taking all negligence claims by customers seriously, following a Las Vegas woman slipped on a watery gel coming from crops in the Lowe’s nursery place. She hit her head on the autumn, fracturing her skull that caused hemorrhaging. She suffered chronic neck pain and headaches, increased anxiety and depression, issues with balance and has permanently lost her senses of taste and smell. The jury empathized with the girl, and within one day of closing arguments, given her $13.14 million.
