Las Vegas Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor. Report the incident to the property owner or manager and request a written report. Take photos of the scene, including any hazardous conditions, and collect contact information from any witnesses. Then, contact a personal injury attorney to protect your rights.

Yes—if your fall was caused by a dangerous condition that the property owner knew about (or should have known about) and failed to correct or warn you about. Common examples include wet floors, uneven surfaces, and poor lighting.

To win a slip and fall case, you must show that:

• A hazardous condition existed

• The property owner or staff knew (or should have known) about it

• They failed to fix it or warn you in a timely manner

• That failure caused your injury

An attorney can help gather surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements to support your claim.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills

• Lost wages

• Pain and suffering

• Rehabilitation costs

• Future medical care

• Emotional distress
  Every case is unique, and your compensation will depend on the extent of your injuries and the property owner’s level of negligence.

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages—though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Failing to meet this deadline may prevent you from recovering any compensation, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

At Pacific West Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case. Your consultation is always free and available 24/7.

• As a service to our clients, we will work to collect evidence of your damages and assign a monetary value to your case to use in settlement negotiations or if your case goes to trial. With more evidence, we can build a stronger case to recover the compensation you deserve. This includes medical bills, documents from your employer, receipts of any additional expenses, surveillance videos, police reports, witness testimonies, and statements from medical, vocational, or economic experts.

• While there may be more you’re eligible for in personal injury cases, you can be reimbursed for any, if not all, of the following:
• Hospital bills from your injuries
• The estimated future costs of all medical care
• Property damage, such as car repair or replacement costs after an auto accident
• Lost wages for the time you were not at work and were recovering
• Reduced earning capacity if your ability to earn has been permanently diminished
• Pain and suffering, both mentally and emotionally
• Additional compensation for becoming disabled
• Funeral and burial costs in wrongful death claims

• You may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of your loved one who passed away. Common instances of these cases are: the defendant is driving while intoxicated and hits your family members’ car, resulting in their death, or a family member slips or trips and falls at a business due to the negligence of the business owner and is severely injured and passes away a week later.
• Our goal in legal action for these cases would be to collect compensation for your family to cover the funeral and burial costs, medical bills, the deceased’s lost wages, and more. The defendant may also be facing criminal charges.
