Las Vegas Slip, Trip and Fall Lawyer
Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Las Vegas, Nevada
A “slip and fall” or “trip and fall” accident is one that occurs on another’s property and involves a victim slipping or tripping and falling because of a hazardous condition on the property grounds. It may be a wet floor, a freshly waxed hallway, a poorly lit stairwell, a sidewalk with a large crack, an object in a walkway or any of a number of dangerous situations that lead to a slip and fall accident. These most often occur in casinos, resorts, hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and retail stores. However, a slip and fall accident anywhere on someone else’s property may be grounds for a personal injury claim or lawsuit.
A Las Vegas slip and fall attorney can help you hold the property owner or manager responsible if they were negligent in maintaining their property grounds. Nevada property owners, including hotel and casino owners, must take care to make sure that their grounds are safe for visitors. If there is a spill or any other hazardous situation, it needs to be cleaned or repaired as soon as possible. If it cannot be addressed immediately, a warning sign must be placed in plain view in order to warn visitors of the potential danger. Property owners must maintain their property and conduct routine inspections to help ensure that everything is fine.
A serious slip and fall or trip and fall accident may lead to broken wrists or hips, back injury, head trauma or even brain injury. In the face of medical treatment necessary for these injuries, it is important that you have the money you need to pay for your medical care as well as living expenses. A personal injury lawyer can evaluate the value of your claim and then pursue a just amount of financial compensation for the injuries you have suffered.
