You Typically Have Two Years to File a Lawsuit

Property owners are required to reasonably maintain the condition of their premises and are liable for any damages that occur as a result of their failure. Slip and fall accident victims can file lawsuits against the parties liable for their injuries. However, they must do so within two years from the date of their accidents, per NRS §11.190(4)(e).

What a Slip and Fall Damage Award Covers

A slip and fall damage award compensates victims for two types of losses: economic damages and non-economic damages.

Economic damages compensate claimants for any financial losses related to their injuries. That does not just include expenses like medical bills and the cost of traveling to and from appointments; it also includes any lost income, both past and future. If you are looking at a lengthy recovery period and will not be able to return to work in the near future as a result, economic damages will cover these losses.

Non-economic damages, on the other hand, serve to compensate victims for non-financial losses. Although money can never truly reimburse a victim for their pain and suffering, the civil justice system attempts to provide some solace for those losses in the form of monetary compensation.

Non-economic damages compensate victims for their past and future suffering, mental anguish, incapacitating and permanent injuries, disfigurement, and the other effects an injury can have on a victim’s overall quality of life.

Explaining Negligence in a Premises Liability Case

To determine whether a slip and fall is the result of negligence, it is necessary to evaluate the cause of the accident and the conditions of the property on which it happened. In order to prove negligence, there are four factors that must be demonstrated.

Per the American Bar Association (ABA), these factors include:

1. Duty of Care

It must first be established that the property owner owed guests a “duty of care.” A property owner’s duty of care depends on the premises’ purpose. Every property owner must employ certain measures to keep visitors safe.

But some property owners, such as business owners, have a higher expectation to keep their properties safe. They are expected to consistently inspect their properties and correct any unsafe conditions that might develop. If they cannot correct a hazard, they must, at a minimum, warn visitors and seal off the area.

2. Breach of Duty of Care

If a property owner does not maintain their property to a reasonable standard, they have “breached” their duty of care to visitors. This could include failing to warn guests of a hazard or remedy the danger itself.

3. Causation

If it is proven that a property owner breached their duty of care, then it must be established that the breach caused the victim’s injury. For example, if a property owner failed to clean up a spill, and a visitor slipped and fell, the property owner is considered to have caused the accident.

4. Damages

The final element that must be met to prove negligence is that the accident caused the victim damages.

If all four of these conditions are met, the property owner can be held liable for your injuries.

If you believe that your slip and fall is the result of another party’s negligence, you may want to work with a Spring Valley slip and fall injury lawyer.
