How Do Slip and Fall Accidents Occur?

Slip and fall accidents have many causes that depend on the environment that you’re in. However, there are some common causes of slip and fall injuries that our firm sees often.

Slip and fall accidents are commonly caused by the following:

Poor weather conditions, like snow and ice
Waxed or mopped floors
Water leaks and spills
Broken steps and staircases

Debris
Poorly lit areas
Lack of handrails
Lack of signage to warn of hazards

Cables across walkways and floors
Loose carpets or mats
Potholes
Sudden changes in walking surfaces

No matter how your accident occurred, give our team a call today. We will review your case and develop a legal strategy so you can recover compensation to make up for your injuries and lost income.

Which Injuries Are Common After a Slip and Fall Accident?

Injuries from a slip and fall accident can be severe. While your injuries will depend on where you fell and how hard you landed, there are some common injuries for which many slip and fall victims might obtain compensation.

These injuries can include:

Broken bones
Bruises
Sprains
Spine or nerve damage

Torn ligaments
Dislocation
Head injuries
Traumatic brain injuries

If you have suffered any injuries from an accident, seek medical attention immediately. Note any injuries you are diagnosed with by a medical professional, and track any medical bills you pay yourself out of pocket. Keeping a record of medical treatment is vital since you may be able to seek financial compensation for those bills in a slip and fall accident claim.

Who is Responsible for a Slip and Fall Accident?

Assigning responsibility or liability in a slip and fall case is essential. In most cases, if the property owners fail to reach their “duty of care,” meaning they don’t create a safe environment for guests, they can be held liable for your injuries. Under Nevada law, a property owner is responsible for the well-being of anyone who enters their space, including staff, customers, friends, family members, and clients.

If a property owner is aware of a hazard, they must repair, remove, or block it. It is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure their property is safe for anyone who enters. If you can prove the property owner’s negligence, you may be able to file a liability claim against them in court.

To prove liability in a slip and fall accident in Henderson, you generally must be able to show:

There was a dangerous condition on the premises
The defendant knew of the hazard or reasonably should have known about it
An accident occurred
The accident happened because of the dangerous condition
You suffered real injuries and damages as a result

What Kind of Compensation Can I Recieve After a Slip and Fall Accident?

The maximum compensation for a slip and fall case varies depending on your unique circumstances. However, there are some common damages that many slip and fall accident victims seek in court.

You may be able to recover compensation for the following:

Medical care, including hospital stays, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
Property damage repair
Lost wages or earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional trauma

And more. If you would like more information on the type of financial compensation you may be able to recover, contact our team today. We will review your case and advise you on what you may be able to seek under premises liability laws.

What Does a Henderson Slip and Fall Lawyer Do?

Many slip and fall accidents occur due to someone else’s negligence. If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, seek legal representation immediately to begin building your case. Our personal injury attorneys will work tirelessly to seek compensation on your behalf and provide legal services with your best interests in mind.

When you hire slip and fall accident attorneys from our team, we will work to gather evidence of negligence on your behalf. This can involve getting photos and videos from the scene and witness statements from anyone who saw the slip and fall happen.

After that, a slip and fall accident lawyer on our team will communicate with you about your experience before working with experts to value your case and the compensation you can recover. Finally, our team will draft legal documents and represent you in court to get you the outcome you deserve.

What Does a Henderson Slip and Fall Lawyer Do?

While most slip and fall cases are resolved in the form of an insurance settlement way before a lawsuit is ever filed, there is always the possibility that a claim will end up in court. Filing a slip and fall lawsuit may be necessary in situations where liability is highly contested or if the insurance company refuses to offer an amount that fully compensates you for your injuries.

In Nevada, injury lawsuits stemming from slip and fall accidents generally must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. This time limit is commonly referred to as the statute of limitations deadline. Once this deadline passes, the court will no longer hear your case and you will effectively be barred from pursuing compensation for your injuries.

Since complying with the statute of limitations can ultimately make or break your claim, it is critical you work with a Henderson slip and fall accident lawyer early on in your case to guard your interests and protect yourself against potentially costly legal pitfalls.

Do I Need to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer for a Premises Liability Claim?

After a slip and fall injury, you deserve to rest and focus on your mental and physical health. Holding liable parties accountable is vital for slip and fall accident victims to recover compensation and ensure these injuries don’t happen to anyone else in the future. By hiring a slip and fall attorney, you can rest assured that your legal team is seeking fair compensation on your behalf.

Please don’t feel like you must go through this challenging time on your own. Our High Stakes Injury Law team is here to help with anything you need, including offering legal advice and crafting a personal injury lawsuit.
