Slip and Fall

A slip and fall accident can land you in the hospital with injuries ranging from sprains, torn ligaments, and other soft tissue damage to broken bones, internal bleeding, head trauma, neck, back, hip, and spinal cord injuries. When these injuries have occurred due to the negligence of a property owner, you may be entitled to pursue monetary compensation through a personal injury claim. Hofland & Tomsheck has been helping injured clients in the Las Vegas area do just that since 1997.

Premises liability is the term that refers to the legal obligation property owners are under to provide a reasonably safe environment that will not put visitors at risk. Whether you visit a public or private property, the owner, manager, or person in charge is responsible for ensuring that the premises do not pose a safety risk to customers, patrons, visitors, residents, or others who enter the premises legally.

This applies to:

• Supermarkets
• Malls
• Casinos
• Nightclubs
• Single-family homes
• Apartment buildings
• Hotels
• Restaurants
• Entertainment venues
• Sports areas
• Movie theaters
• Office buildings

Such hazards as wet, slippery floors, torn carpets, broken lighting, crumbled floor tiles, and more can pose a danger to anyone visiting the premises. If the property owner has knowledge of the hazard and fails to remedy it or warn visitors which then leads to a serious injury, he or she may be held legally accountable for damages. These damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, and more. A Las Vegas slip and fall lawyer at our firm can advise you on what needs to be done to help you pursue justice through an injury claim.

Slip and fall cases can be complicated and difficult. In order to succeed, you will need a keen negotiator who also has strong courtroom skills. Your attorney will have to prove that:

1. The negligent property owner caused your injuries due to the dangerous condition
2. He or she should have reasonably known about the condition
3. He or she failed to take the proper steps to rid the premises of the danger or warn others

Our firm has been successful in handling slip and fall claims based on design defects, poor or inadequate property maintenance, poor or negligent security, and other forms of property negligence.
