Why Slip and Fall Cases Deserve Serious Attention

Slip and fall accidents are often brushed off as “minor”, but for victims, they can mean broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or permanent disability. In Nevada, property owners are legally responsible for keeping their premises safe. When they fail, they put guests, tenants, and customers at risk.

At Cogburn Davidson Injury Lawyers, we know these cases are about more than wet floors or broken tiles. They are about corporate negligence and preventable harm. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, we represent slip and fall victims across Nevada, preparing every case for trial to make sure justice is served.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall injuries often result from hazards that property owners should have prevented. Examples include:

  • Wet or recently mopped floors without warning signs
  • Spilled food or drinks in casinos, restaurants, or grocery stores
  • Uneven flooring, loose carpeting, or broken tiles
  • Poor lighting in stairwells, hallways, or parking garages
  • Damaged steps or missing handrails
  • Clutter or obstacles left in walkways
  • Unsafe pool decks or spa areas

When property owners fail to correct these hazards or warn visitors, they can be held liable.

Injuries Caused by Slip and Fall Accidents

Falls can cause devastating injuries, particularly for older adults. Common injuries include:

  • Hip fractures and broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Severe sprains, strains, and ligament tears
  • Cuts, bruises, and permanent scarring
  • Internal injuries or organ damage
  • Wrongful death in severe cases

These injuries often lead to long-term medical care, lost wages, and a reduced quality of life.
