Premises Liability

Property owners can be held responsible for injuries that occur on their property if their negligence directly caused the injuries. In Nevada, in addition to the property owner, you can file a claim against a tenant, property manager, maintenance agency, or third party working on a property if their negligent act causes your injury.

You may have a premises liability case if the liable party knew or should have known of a dangerous condition and the condition directly led to the accident that caused your injuries.

Note that you need to be legally present on a property for the owner or tenant to owe you a duty of care. Trespassers may not be eligible to file a premises liability case.

A Green Valley personal injury attorney can help you learn more about your situation to determine the strength of your case.

Catastrophic Injury

If you sustain a life-altering injury (an injury that results in a long-term or permanent disability) due to someone else’s negligence, your injury is considered catastrophic. Examples include severe burns, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and organ damage. These injuries can permanently affect your ability to work or perform basic life activities.

Cases involving a catastrophic injury can be complicated, as they typically require extensive investigations and in-depth assessment of the potential impact of the injury.

Our attorneys are experienced in representing victims with catastrophic injuries. We know how to gather the needed evidence and the professionals to work with to provide a better understanding of how the injury may affect your life.

Wrongful Death Attorney

If you lose a loved one due to a wrongful act or negligence of another, your family can bring action against the negligent party. The personal representative of the deceased’s estate and heirs are the parties allowed to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Nevada. 

If the defendant has died, for example, a car accident causes the death of your loved one and that of the other driver who caused it, you can file a case against their estate’s personal representatives.

Wrongful death cases can be challenging due to their substantial emotional impact. Our attorneys can offer you support by helping you understand applicable laws and how to fight for fair compensation to cover the damages brought about by your loved one’s death.

Slip And Fall

Slip-and-fall accidents fall under premises liability cases. If a hazardous condition on someone else’s property causes you to slip and fall, sustaining an injury, you can file a premises liability case. This is because the property owner or tenant was negligent in not fixing the hazard to prevent an accident.

Workers’ Compensation

Employers with one or more employees in Nevada must carry workers’ compensation insurance. Accordingly, when an employee is injured while performing their duties, they can receive medical and wage replacement benefits from the coverage.

However, what if your employer has failed to obtain coverage or their insurance company denies your claim or refuses to fairly compensate you? In such instances, you can file a personal injury claim against your employer. This may also be necessary if your employer’s negligence caused your injury; perhaps they exposed you to hazardous substances or ignored dangerous conditions.
