Baltimore County Resident Alfred Dawson Files Personal Injury Suit Against Home Depot

Alfred Dawson, a Baltimore County resident, filed a personal injury lawsuit against Home Depot U.S.A. in the Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore County on March 19, 2026, according to court records. The case, docketed as C-03-CV-26-001245 under the caption Dawson v. Home Depot U.S.A., was entered into the court system one day before this report.

The filing adds Home Depot to a running list of personal injury actions brought against large home improvement retailers in Maryland state courts. Baltimore County's circuit court handles civil matters across one of the state's most populous jurisdictions, and cases filed there can move toward discovery and trial on timelines that typically stretch over one to two years.

The research notes do not detail the specific circumstances of Dawson's alleged injury, the location where the incident occurred, or the damages being sought. Those details are expected to emerge as the case progresses through initial pleadings and scheduling orders.

Home Depot U.S.A., the corporate entity named as defendant, is the primary operating subsidiary through which The Home Depot conducts its retail store business. The company operates multiple locations in the Baltimore metropolitan area, and personal injury actions against it in Maryland courts most commonly involve premises liability claims, such as slip-and-fall incidents or injuries related to merchandise handling, though the complaint's specific theory of liability has not been publicly detailed at this stage.

The case will next move through Maryland's civil rules process, which requires service of process on the defendant and a responsive pleading within a defined window after service is completed.
