How Cogburn Davidson Can Help After a Slip and Fall in Henderson

Slip and fall accidents are often preventable, but property owners and managers frequently deny responsibility, trying to blame the victim instead.

At Cogburn Davidson, we refuse to let insurance companies or negligent businesses push you around.

When you work with our team, we will:

  • Investigate the scene and secure evidence such as photos, video, and witness statements
  • Identify all responsible parties, including property owners, management companies, or contractors
  • Consult safety and medical experts to strengthen your case
  • Handle communications with insurers so you can focus on recovery
  • Push for a fair settlement and take your case to trial if necessary

Our mission is simple: protect your rights and pursue the maximum compensation available under Nevada law.

What Is My Slip and Fall Case Worth?

Every slip and fall case is different, but several key factors affect the value of your claim:

  • The severity of your injuries and required treatment
  • Whether you need long-term or permanent care
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Out-of-pocket expenses, such as mobility aids or home modifications
  • The emotional and physical impact of your injuries
  • Whether the defense can argue you share fault for the accident

Our attorneys will review every detail of your case to calculate fair compensation and ensure you don’t settle for less than you deserve.

What Compensation Can I Recover After a Slip and Fall?

Slip and fall victims in Nevada can pursue both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Lost income and reduced earning ability
  • Rehabilitation and nursing care
  • Property damage
  • Other related out-of-pocket costs

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and anxiety
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Scarring or disfigurement
  • Loss of companionship

In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the property owner’s conduct was reckless or malicious.

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

Yes. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% responsible for the accident, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found 20% responsible and your damages totaled $100,000, you could still recover $80,000.

Because insurance companies often try to shift blame onto victims, having Cogburn Davidson in your corner ensures your rights are protected.

Common Injuries in Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can result in injuries ranging from minor to life-changing. Our attorneys often represent clients suffering from:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
  • Severe sprains and soft tissue damage
  • Nerve injuries
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Paralysis or wrongful death

Prompt medical care is critical not only for your health but also to build strong evidence for your claim.

What Causes Most Slip and Fall Accidents in Henderson?

Slip and fall injuries usually stem from property owner negligence. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
  • Uneven or broken flooring, sidewalks, or stairs
  • Inadequate lighting in walkways or stairwells
  • Cluttered aisles or blocked pathways
  • Loose handrails or unsafe staircases
  • Failure to clear ice, snow, or debris
  • Hazardous conditions in casinos, hotels, or retail stores

If unsafe property conditions led to your accident, our Henderson slip and fall attorneys will investigate and hold the negligent parties accountable.

How Long Do I Have to File a Slip and Fall Lawsuit in Nevada?

Under Nevada law, you generally have two years from the date of your slip and fall accident to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline usually means losing your right to compensation. Some exceptions may apply, so it’s best to speak with an attorney right away. The sooner we begin investigating your case, the better chance we have of preserving key evidence and strengthening your claim.

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!
