is this a viable lawsuit?

My husband cut his hand very badly while putting back a knife that he was going to purchase from a culinary store, due to a poor arrangement of how they had the knifes displayed.. and the store associate allowed him to place the knife back onto the display case, even though it was poorly set up. He is getting subcutaneous and cutaneous stitches, and he bled all over the floor and all over his clothes. My question is, is this a viable lawsuit. The display was also a “locked” display case, you would think they would have been more cautious since these KNIVES are very sharp.

Yes, it can be a suit for negligence by the store.

You can do either of two things.

1. Take this to the highest level in the company that you can. Tell the local manager that you want to talk to someone in the corporate level. Ask them to pay all medical and other bills associated with the problem. You also have to decide whether your husband wants to ask for “compensatory damages”. That’s a payment for his pain and suffering. If you’re not satisfied with their response, then

2. Sue them.

DO NOT sign anything unless you read and understand it first.

Keep copies of all paperwork and notes of all conversations.
