CHARLESTON – A Madison woman who was knocked unconscious at a Lowe's store when wood fencing fell on top of her alleges the store failed to provide a safe place to shop.
Linda Persinger filed a complaint in Kanawha Circuit Court against Lowe's Home Centers LLC alleging negligence.
Persinger and her husband were shopping for wood privacy fencing material on March 25, 2018, at the Lowe's in Logan.
