Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

Representing the Injured in Nevada

When you’re doing something as ordinary as shopping in the supermarket or walking up an apartment complex stairway to visit a friend, you don’t expect to get injured. Sadly, many Nevada residents find themselves seriously injured after slip and fall or trip and fall accidents that happen in common places such as these. If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries as a result of a Nevada slip and fall accident on someone else’s property, you may be due compensation. Let the personal injury lawyers of Nevada-based Richard Harris Law Firm help you evaluate your potential injury claim and advise you on your options for moving forward.

Premises Liability 101
Our slip and fall injury lawyers have helped many Nevada residents get the compensation they deserve for their injuries. The key to a slip and fall accident claim is proving negligence on the part of the property owner, meaning that he or she was negligent in keeping the premises free from potential hazards to others, and is therefore liable for the injuries that occurred.

Determining who is liable in a slip and fall accident can at times be challenging for someone who isn’t experienced in premises liability law because some properties have owners, managers, and renters. In some cases, both a property owner and the business owner renting a space can be liable, while in others only one party may be responsible.

Inspect the site of your accident and take photographs to document the condition as soon as possible. The property owner may correct the hazardous condition soon after your fall in attempts to avoid a lawsuit, so it’s important to get photographs promptly. Also take note of the area, looking at things such as lighting, security, signs, etc. Try to get the names and contact information of anyone who witnessed your fall. These people may be needed to testify or give a statement for your claim.
