Your Right to Sue Lowe’s after an Accident
Before even considering how much you can recover after an accident, it is essential that you have a thorough understanding of your right to file a lawsuit. Under the concept of premise liability, all property owners have a duty to their guests. More specifically, they have a duty to keep their entire premises free of any hazards or dangerous conditions that could lead to incidents and leave guests injured. When property owners, their managers, and their employees fail to keep store premises safe, then property owners could be sued. In other words, if you or a loved one suffered an incident, you could have the right to sue and recover compensation.
