Kelly Hendrickson was shopping for palm trees at a Lowe’s home improvement store in July 2013 when the Las Vegas woman slipped on a wet concrete floor and hit her head.
Hendrickson later sued Lowe’s Home Centers for negligence, and her lawyers plan to seek hefty punitive damages in the case, which went to trial this week. They said about 30 other people were injured after falling in Lowe’s garden centers in Clark County during the previous five years, but the company did nothing to correct the hazard.
