Who Is Liable for My Injuries After a Slip and Fall Accident in Henderson?
Property owners have an obligation to ensure that anyone who visits their home or business can do so without risk from reasonably preventable accidents. The responsibility of proving that the other party was at fault is on the victims, and our attorneys will gather all the evidence possible to do so.
To prove the owner or manager of the property is at fault, we look at whether they knew the risk existed or should have known and whether they took reasonable steps to eliminate the risk or warn of it. If not, then they could be negligent.
Several factors are at play. For example, the victim must have a valid reason for being on the property. A business opening its doors is a valid reason. Dropping off the mail to a neighbor is reasonable. They do not assume responsibility if you trespass in a marked no-trespassing area.
How Long Do I Have to File a Slip and Fall Case in Nevada?
The law requires you to initiate legal action within a specified timeframe. The Nevada statute of limitations is typically two years from the date of the injury. This gives you time to recover as well as possible and to seek a settlement out of court. If the insurance company is unfair and unwilling to settle, we will file suit within the two-year timeframe to recover your losses.
