Reno Slip and Fall Attorney
Injured due to a negligent property owner? Call (775) 573-0229 now.
If your injury was caused by a property owner’s negligence in allowing a dangerous, risky, or unsafe condition to exist, Nevada tort law provides a remedy for injuries caused by slipping or tripping and falling. This type of claim is referred to a “slip and fall” case.
Slip and falls can result in serious injuries, including head or neck injuries, back and spine injuries, broken or fractured bones, and in some of the worst scenarios, fatality. Drawing on years of experience, proven results, and an extensive knowledge of Nevada’s laws, our Reno personal injury attorney can help you pursue the economic recovery you need.
Nevada Slip and Fall Laws: What You Need to Know
Slip and fall cases will typically be harder to handle than most personal injury issues, for a variety of reasons. On one hand, the general perception is that slip and fall accidents and the resulting injuries are often considered to be caused due to a portion of fault committed by the injured party. Because of this, slip and fall cases are often worth less than injuries from other types of torts.
On another hand, slip and fall cases will require a considerable amount of proof regarding the damages suffered by the injured as a direct result of the property owner’s negligence.
Property owners generally will have two basic defenses to slip and fall claims:
- The first defense is that they were not negligent. For example, the owner may claim that the banana that a patron slipped upon had been dropped on the floor only moments ago by another patron, and that, in the exercise of due diligence, a typical store owner acting with reasonable care would not have had time to discover the danger and take steps to mitigate the danger.
- The second and more typical defense is that the person who was injured was at fault. For example, the owner may claim that any reasonable patron, exercising due diligence for his or her own safety, would see a banana on the floor, and take those steps necessary to avoid slipping on it.
