Premises Liability

Premises Liability Accidents in Las Vegas

When you are injured on someone else’s property, it is possible that you may be entitled to compensation. The most common type of injury is a slip-and-fall, but other accidents like injuries from moving objects, falling from heights, and dog bites also qualify as premises liability accidents. In order to recover compensation in all cases, you must prove that:

• There was a dangerous condition on the property;
• The property owner was or should have been aware of the condition;
• The property owner failed to warn of or remedy the dangerous condition; and
• The dangerous condition led to injuries and subject losses.

In Nevada, property owners are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that their properties are safe for visitors. This includes performing routine maintenance, repairs, and staying up to date on local safety and building codes. When these tasks are not done and an accident occurs, it is the job of our experienced attorneys to show that the property owner was not “reasonable” in their conduct and should have acted differently.

Even when a dangerous condition or hazard existed that caused an accident, it can be difficult to recover. Proving fault is only half the battle, and you must prove that you were hurt and injured as well. Insurance companies are notorious for low-balling premises liability claims and accusing the injured person of causing the accident themselves, claiming the property owner had no knowledge of the condition or alleging that the victim’s injuries were not caused by the accident.

Thus, it is important to help yourself too when filing a premises liability claim. Some things you can do to make sure you obtain a favorable settlement on your behalf:

• Report the injury immediately to the property owner and inform them you are hurt
• Take photographs of the area where the accident occurred
• Collect witness information for those who can support your claim
• Seek medical treatment immediately in order to document all your injuries

Following these few common-sense steps and contacting one of our premises liability attorneys at Bay Law Accident Attorneys immediately after an accident is the best way to ensure your rights will be preserved.
