Premises Liability Law in Nevada

In Nevada, injured parties can seek compensation through a premises liability claim when they’re harmed on someone’s property due to negligence. Property owners can be held responsible for damages like medical costs and pain and suffering when they’ve failed to maintain their premises or fix a dangerous or defective condition.

In Las Vegas, many premises liability accidents take place in and around casinos and hotels. Lack of property maintenance results in many slip and fall accidents. Unsafe walking areas around pools, outside casino entrances, on supermarket floors, and in other areas can present a serious hazard.

Another form of premises liability is negligent security. Bars, clubs, casinos, and other establishments must take steps to protect their patrons from violence. If you were assaulted by another patron or by a security guard, the owner of the establishment may be held liable for damages.

Whatever accident occurred, the injuries may turn out to be the same, and some can even be catastrophic. Victims harmed on properties after trips or assaults often report the following injuries when they seek medical attention:

• Broken bones
• Burns
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Head and brain injuries

Whatever type of premises liability accident you have suffered, our attorneys are prepared to stand up for your rights. We know how to investigate these claims to establish liability. We can look at all available evidence, including eyewitness testimony and surveillance video, to build a compelling case for you.

How Can Someone Get Hurt in a Nightclub?

40 million people visit our city of Las Vegas every year and fill our casinos, hotels, and nightclubs looking for a fun vacation or weekend. It should come as no surprise to learn that many premises liability-related accidents happen in Las Vegas bars and nightclubs. Because alcohol plays a key role in the operation of nightclubs, it makes sense that negligence and recklessness can occur.

Some factors that can lead to injuries in nightclubs include:

• Sexual assault or sexual harassment
• Violence or excessive force by bouncers
• Alcohol poisoning
• Assaults from other belligerent customers
• Food poisoning
• Lack of adequate security
• Dangerous grounds
• Broken glass
• Falling objects

Bar and nightclub owners can be held financially responsible for a victim’s injuries and damages if they’re found to have been negligent. Some types of negligence include making mistakes in hiring or supervising their staff – establishments generally are held responsible for the actions of their employees. Though it may seem obvious to you who is at fault when you’ve been injured, suing an establishment like a bar or club can be far too challenging for someone who doesn’t have extensive experience in the legal system.
