While you might be entitled to recover all of your losses from the negligent party, if you wait too long to file, the court could dismiss your lawsuit.
Each state has a deadline by which you must file your slip and fall accident lawsuit, called a statute of limitations. Nevada’s statute of limitations, under NRS §11.190(4)(e), is two years from the date of your accident.
While two years might seem like a lot of time, it can take a while to gather the information you need to prove the liable party is at fault for your injuries. That is why it can be valuable to get started on your case as soon as possible following the accident. A slip and fall injury lawyer can help you gather the appropriate information to get your lawsuit filed on time.
If you and your slip and fall injury lawyer can prove everything mentioned above, you might be able to recover compensation, including:
In order to have a viable case for compensation, you have to prove the property owner or occupier’s negligence. To do so, you can gather evidence to show the following criteria:
You must show the property owner or occupier owed you a duty of care. In Nevada, property owners are responsible for keeping their premises safe to ensure guests do not get hurt.
You can show the property owner had a duty of care by proving you were on the property legally. For example, if you were a customer at a clothing store within operating hours, the store owner had a duty of care to protect you.
You also have to show the property owner breached their duty of care by doing something negligent. This can be any of the following:
If you can show one of the above breaches, you are one step closer to having a slip and fall injury case.
You have to show the property owner’s or occupier’s negligence directly caused your injuries. This entails showing that the hazard caused you to slip and fall.
You also must prove you suffered physical injuries and material losses. This includes both financial losses and emotional losses.
A slip and fall injury lawyer from our firm can handle your case for you. We can help you gather evidence, including:
We can use this evidence to build a case against the property owner responsible for your losses. Perhaps one of the most valuable things a lawyer can do for you is handle communications with all parties involved in the claim or lawsuit. This includes the negligent party, their legal representation, their insurance company, and witnesses.
Insurance adjusters have a job to do, and part of it is protecting their own bottom line. They might try to use your own words against you to offer you a settlement that’s too low to cover your losses. A lawyer from our firm can negotiate a settlement on your behalf to avoid something like this from happening.
If we cannot recover compensation for you through a settlement out of court, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf and argue for you at trial.
High Stakes Injury Law is here to help when you’re ready to hold the negligent property owner accountable for your losses.
