Slip and Fall Injury Lawyers

Thousands of people across the U.S. seek emergency treatment for falls every year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shares that fall accidents annually put over 800,000 people in the hospital for hip fractures or head injuries. Not only can these incidents happen anywhere, but they can be quite dangerous to one’s health and safety.

If you or a loved one is recovering from injuries from a slip and fall accident due to someone else’s negligence, a Pahrump slip and fall injury lawyer can help you recover monetary compensation. Call the legal team at High Stakes Injury Law at (702) 605-6671 today for a free case evaluation.

Premises Liability Law in Nevada

Following your slip and fall accident, you may be interested in taking legal action against the liable party. These cases fall under premises liability law. NRS §651.005 defines “premises” as all buildings, improvements, and facilities, including parking lots, recreational facilities, or land that is used or maintained in connection with hotels and other kinds of lodging.

Nevada law also requires owners and managers to keep their premises reasonably safe and free of hazards. If that is not possible, then they are required to warn property guests and visitors about unsafe conditions.

This is especially the case if these conditions are not easily apparent to visitors. Warnings can include posting signs, roping off hazardous areas, or giving guests a verbal warning about a hazard. Guests and visitors can include letter carriers, landscapers, home health aides, maintenance workers, and others who are allowed and have reason to be on a property.

You Must Prove Negligence to Secure Compensation

To build your case in accordance with Nevada premises liability law, you must show:

The other party owns or controls the area where the fall occurred, and therefore owed you a duty of care.
The other party breached their duty of care by failing to warn you of a hazard or remove the danger.
You were injured due to the other party’s breach of duty of care.
You suffered injuries and financial losses as a result of getting hurt.

If you are ready to explore your legal options following your slip and fall accident, we are ready to help. Call the legal team at High Stakes Injury Law at (702) 605-6671 today for a free case evaluation.

How an Attorney Can Build Your Slip and Fall Case

Slip and fall cases are more complex than they appear to be on the surface, which is why some people work with a lawyer to help them prove liability. Your lawyer’s job is to establish that the property owner or manager of the place where you fell was responsible for your injuries, and as a result, they should compensate you for the losses you suffered. However, this is not always a clear-cut issue.

A Pahrump slip and fall injury lawyer can review the facts and evidence in your case, including any photos, videos, or witness testimony. They can also help you build your case by:

Investigating the site where you fell
Investigating how a hazard led to your fall
Determining how long the danger was present on the property
Negotiating a settlement
Reviewing your medical records and other relevant documents
Filing your injury lawsuit by the statute of limitations deadline in Nevada, which is two years, per NRS §11.190(4)(e)

You could seek damages for your medical expenses, lost income or reduced wages, past and future pain and suffering, and more. Parties in personal injury cases usually settle their differences outside of court. A Pahrump slip and fall injury lawyer could negotiate on your behalf if an insurance company offers you a settlement that does not adequately cover your needs.

A lawyer can also review an insurer’s offer before you decide whether to accept it. If a favorable settlement is not reached, your lawyer could take your case to civil court so a judge or jury can decide.

You should consider:

Staying off of social media until your case is resolved

Following through with your prescribed course of medical treatment
Refraining from contacting the at-fault party directly
