Why Slip and Fall Cases Deserve Serious Attention

A slip and fall can happen in seconds, but the injuries, pain, and financial strain can last months or even years. If your accident was caused by unsafe property conditions, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and suffering.

We’ve helped clients across Nevada recover hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements, and we’re ready to fight for you too. Contact us online to schedule a free consultation. You pay nothing unless we win.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents in Las Vegas

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere: from hotels and casinos to grocery stores, parking garages, and apartment complexes. Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe, but too often, negligence leads to preventable injuries. Some of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents in Nevada include:

  • Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
  • Uneven or broken flooring and sidewalks
  • Damaged stairs or missing handrails
  • Loose rugs or carpeting
  • Spilled food or liquids left unattended
  • Clutter or debris in walkways
  • Poor or inadequate lighting
  • Exposed cables and wiring
  • Unsafe construction areas
  • Malfunctioning escalators or elevators

When property owners fail to inspect, repair, or warn about these dangers, they can and should be held accountable.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Even what seems like a minor fall can lead to serious, long-term injuries, especially for older adults or those with preexisting conditions.

Our Las Vegas slip and fall attorneys routinely represent victims suffering from:

  • Fractured hips, wrists, or ankles
  • Back and spinal cord injuries
  • Head and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Torn ligaments and soft tissue damage
  • Cuts, bruises, and dislocations
  • Chronic pain and nerve damage
  • Emotional trauma, anxiety, or depression

If your injury has impacted your ability to work, care for yourself, or live without pain, you may be entitled to significant compensation under Nevada law.

Proving Negligence in a Slip and Fall Case

To win your case, your attorney must prove that the property owner’s negligence caused your injuries. This involves establishing four key elements:

  1. Duty of Care: The property owner owed you a duty to maintain safe conditions.
  2. Breach of Duty: They failed to correct or warn of a hazardous condition.
  3. Causation: That negligence directly caused your fall and injuries.
  4. Damages: You suffered measurable harm as a result (e.g., medical bills, pain, lost wages).

Nevada’s premises liability laws require property owners and businesses to regularly inspect their property, fix dangerous conditions, and warn visitors of known hazards.

Failure to do so can result in full liability for your injuries.

Our legal team will gather the evidence needed, surveillance footage, maintenance logs, witness accounts, and expert testimony, to build a powerful case for your recovery.

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

Yes, potentially. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule.

This means you can still recover compensation if you are less than 51% at fault for your accident. However, your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you would receive $80,000. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages.

Our attorneys know how to counter insurance company tactics designed to unfairly blame you. We’ll fight to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.

What Compensation Can I Recover After a Slip and Fall in Las Vegas?

Victims of slip and fall accidents may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including:

Economic Damages

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy
  • Out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., medications, transportation)
  • Property damage (such as broken phones, glasses, or clothing)

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Disfigurement or disability
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of companionship or consortium

In rare cases involving gross negligence or reckless disregard for safety, we may also pursue punitive damages to punish the at-fault party and deter similar conduct in the future.

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!
