Injuries Can Occur at Home Depot for Employees
Home Depot has numerous safety practices in place, and it is known for having some of the most stringent requirements of its employees for managing customer and employee safety. Yet, accidents happen. Under Georgia law, if you were hurt while working as an employee of the retailer, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation claim.
You do not have to prove that Home Depot or an employee of Home Depot was liable for your injury to file a workers’ compensation claim. However, there are limitations on when you can do so.

Common Worker Injuries at Home Depot
It’s not uncommon to do a lot of hard, physical work at Home Depot. Whether you are responsible for using equipment, lifting heavy objects, or dealing with wet floors, there are numerous risk factors for most people who work at Home Depot. Some of the most common injuries at Home Depot for workers include:
- Forklift Accidents: Forklifts are used frequently at Home Depot to move large and heavy objects and pallets of product. However, their operation of them is human-based and can lead to serious injury.
- Truck Accidents: Home Depot drivers (for deliveries) may be involved in an accident while on the job. Truck accidents can also occur in the parking lot due to loading mistakes.
- Lacerations: From packing and moving product to managing difficult equipment, lacerations are a common and sometimes highly risky type of injury here. This could include significant knife-related cuts or lacerations from saws and other equipment used in the warehouse.
- Back Injuries: Though there are strategies to reduce the risk of back injuries used in most locations, they still occur. Lifting, slipping and falling, and nerve-related damage can occur. This may also be brought on by repetitive injuries.
- Head Injuries: Falling objects are a common cause of head injuries on the job. This could include concussions but may also involve other traumatic brain injuries in serious cases.
- Slips and Falls: Outdoor work makes this common, but so can customer spills or problems with pain, chemicals, or other materials used in store. Tripping over pallets not put away properly can also cause serious injury.
These are some of the most common Home Depot work injury claim types, but there are many others. If you were hurt on the job, we want to help you. Don’t hesitate to contact us now for support.
