What Is Premises Liability?

Every property owner in Nevada, from casinos on the Strip to neighborhood grocery stores, has a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail to do so and guests get hurt, victims have the right to pursue compensation.

At Cogburn Davidson Injury Lawyers, we know these cases are about more than broken floors or missing security guards. They are about corporate negligence and preventable harm. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, we represent clients statewide, preparing every case for trial to make sure victims get justice.

Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability covers a wide range of unsafe property conditions. Some of the most common include:

  • Casino Injuries: Unsafe conditions, overcrowding, or poorly maintained gaming floors leading to serious accidents.
  • Negligent Security: Assaults, robberies, or shootings that occur because property owners failed to provide adequate security.
  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, and poor lighting that cause devastating injuries.

No matter the type of property, such as a casino, hotel, store, apartment complex, or parking lot, owners must take responsibility when they allow unsafe conditions to persist.

Injuries Caused by Premises Liability Accidents

These accidents often result in life-altering injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Severe lacerations and scarring
  • Internal organ damage
  • Wrongful death

For many victims, the injuries mean long-term medical care, lost income, and a permanent change in quality of life.

Premises Liability in Nevada Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a premises liability case different from a typical accident?

These cases focus on the property owner’s responsibility to keep their premises safe. If they knew about or should have known about a hazard and failed to fix it, they can be held liable.

Can a casino or hotel be sued for unsafe conditions?

Yes. Large properties like casinos and hotels owe a duty of care to their guests. If they fail to provide safe conditions or adequate security, they can be held responsible.

Yes. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, we represent clients statewide, including Reno, Mesquite, and smaller communities.
