Why Choose Cogburn Davidson for Your Premises Liability Case?

An accident on someone else’s property can leave you with painful injuries, lost income, and mounting medical bills. Property owners and their insurers often deny responsibility, but that’s where our experience makes a difference.

When you hire our Henderson premises liability attorneys, we will:

  • Conduct a thorough investigation of your accident
  • Collect and analyze evidence, including photos, surveillance footage, and medical records
  • Work with expert witnesses, such as safety inspectors and medical professionals
  • Identify all responsible parties, including property owners, managers, and third-party contractors
  • Handle negotiations with insurance companies that try to undervalue your claim
  • Take your case to trial if necessary to secure the full compensation you deserve

At Cogburn Davidson, we combine compassion with a fighting spirit. We’ll handle the legal battle so you can focus on healing.

Understanding Premises Liability in Nevada

Under Nevada law, property owners, business operators, and managers have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors.

The exact duty of care depends on your reason for being on the property:

  • Invitees (shoppers, hotel guests, casino patrons, restaurant customers): owed the highest duty, including regular inspections, timely repairs, and warnings about hazards.
  • Licensees (social guests): owed warnings about known dangers, though owners don’t have to inspect for hidden risks.
  • Trespassers: generally not owed a duty of care, except in limited cases involving children and attractive nuisances (like unsecured swimming pools).

If a property owner fails to uphold their duty, they can be held financially responsible for resulting injuries.

Common Types of Premises Liability Claims We Handle

Premises liability covers far more than slip and falls. At Cogburn Davidson, we have successfully handled a wide range of claims, including:

  • Slip, trip, and fall accidents
  • Hotel, resort, and casino injuries
  • Dog bites and animal attacks
  • Negligent security leading to assault or crime
  • Swimming pool and drowning accidents
  • Playground and school property injuries
  • Parking lot and garage accidents
  • Fires, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Defective stairways, escalators, or elevators
  • Food poisoning and unsafe restaurant conditions
  • Toxic exposure or hazardous substances
  • Bed bug infestations in hotels or apartments

If unsafe property conditions caused your injury, you may have a valid claim. Our Henderson premises liability attorneys can explain your rights during a free consultation.

What Is My Premises Liability Case Worth?

Every case is unique. The value of your claim will depend on:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Whether you suffered a long-term or permanent disability
  • The impact on your daily life and quality of living
  • Whether you share any responsibility for the accident

Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. We don’t let them. At Cogburn Davidson, we calculate the full scope of your damages and fight for every dollar.

If you haven’t reached out yet to Cogburn Davison I highly recommend you do! I can’t even begin to explain what great customer service I received from when first walking in the door and having the receptionist be so nice and friendly up until my case settled! The attorney Hunter S. Davidson and his paralegal Jessica Mejia were not only friendly and compassionate but they made sure me and my family understood every step of this lawsuit! My father was neglected in a nursing home and I couldn’t find an attorney in Vegas who specialized in these type of cases. Once my friend recommended me to Cogburn Davidson and I saw their exceptional customer service I knew I was in the right place. They were able to get my father and our family the justice he deserved! Don’t hesitate and call Cogburn Davidson, you won’t regret it!

Injuries We See in Henderson Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability accidents often cause severe injuries, such as:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Joint injuries, including hip or shoulder damage
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Severe burns
  • Amputations
  • Wrongful death

These injuries can change your life forever. At Cogburn Davidson, we fight to secure the resources you need to move forward.

Statute of Limitations in Nevada

In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a premises liability lawsuit. Missing this deadline means losing your right to compensation.

Acting quickly also allows us to preserve evidence before it disappears.

Can I Recover Compensation if I’m Partly at Fault?

Yes. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover compensation as long as you are 50% or less at fault. Your damages will be reduced by your share of responsibility. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover compensation. Our attorneys know how insurance companies use blame-shifting tactics. We push back hard to protect your right to full and fair compensation.
