If you were injured on someone else’s property because of unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation under Nevada premises liability law.

Premises liability is a type of personal injury claim that arises when someone is injured due to a dangerous condition on another person’s property. Under Nevada law, property owners and occupiers have a duty to maintain safe conditions for guests, customers, tenants, and other lawful visitors.
When a property owner fails to fix, repair, inspect, or warn visitors about a known hazard, they may be responsible for injuries that occur as a result.
The Walsh Firm represents clients injured in a wide range of premises liability accidents, including:
If you were injured because a property owner failed to maintain safe conditions, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim.
Premises liability accidents can happen virtually anywhere. In Las Vegas, some of the most common locations include:
Las Vegas welcomes millions of visitors each year. Hotels, casinos, resorts, and entertainment venues must take reasonable steps to protect guests from dangerous conditions, including wet floors, broken walkways, inadequate security, and other hazards.
Landlords and property management companies have a duty to maintain safe common areas and address known hazards that could injure tenants and visitors.
Stores are responsible for maintaining safe walkways and promptly addressing spills, obstructions, and unsafe conditions that may cause injuries.
Slippery floors, poor lighting, damaged flooring, and overcrowded conditions can create dangerous environments for customers.
Property owners should ensure parking areas are properly maintained, adequately lit, and reasonably secure.
Many premises liability accidents occur because property owners fail to inspect, maintain, or repair their property.
Common hazardous conditions include:
Spilled liquids, recently mopped surfaces, and water accumulation can lead to serious slip and fall accidents.
Cracked sidewalks, broken pavement, torn carpeting, loose flooring, and uneven surfaces frequently contribute to trip and fall injuries.
Insufficient lighting in hallways, stairwells, parking garages, and walkways can prevent visitors from identifying dangerous hazards.
Defective staircases, missing handrails, and structural issues often lead to severe injuries.
Property owners may be liable when inadequate security measures contribute to assaults, robberies, or other foreseeable criminal acts.
Improperly secured merchandise, equipment, or fixtures can cause significant injuries when they fall unexpectedly.
The steps you take after an accident can have a significant impact on both your health and your legal claim.
Even if your injuries appear minor, it is important to receive prompt medical evaluation. Some injuries may not become apparent until hours or days later.
Notify the property owner, manager, landlord, or business as soon as possible and request that an incident report be completed.
Document the dangerous condition, your injuries, and the surrounding area before any repairs or cleanup occur.
If anyone witnessed the accident, obtain their names and contact information.
Keep copies of medical records, photographs, receipts, correspondence, and any documentation related to the incident.
