Christine Schmidt Files Personal Injury Suit Against Dollar General in Delaware

Christine Schmidt filed a personal injury lawsuit against Dollar General Corporation in the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, according to court records. The complaint, docketed as N26C-03-321, was filed March 16, 2026.

The case adds to the legal exposure Dollar General faces across its sprawling retail footprint. Personal injury suits filed against the company frequently involve in-store conditions, including slip-and-fall incidents, falling merchandise, and hazardous store environments, issues that have drawn sustained scrutiny from regulators and plaintiff attorneys alike.

Court records identify the case only by its docket number and party names at this stage. The specific circumstances of Schmidt's injury and the damages she is seeking have not been detailed in the initial filing as recorded in the docket system.

Dollar General operates more than 20,000 stores across the United States, and the volume of litigation the company faces reflects both its scale and the persistent safety and staffing concerns that have followed it. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Dollar General stores repeatedly in recent years for blocked emergency exits, unsafe storage practices, and conditions that create hazard risk for both employees and customers.

The Schmidt case will proceed through the New Castle County civil docket. Further details about the nature of the alleged injury are expected to emerge as the case advances through the court system.
