Slip & Fall Lawyer in Las Vegas, NV

A fall on a wet floor, loose carpet, or broken step can leave you with medical bills and lost work, while the property owner blames you. Nevada law allows you to recover when a business or landlord fails to address hazards. Flangas Law Firm moves fast to secure video, witness names, and maintenance records before they vanish. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation and discuss your case.

Nevada Slip and Fall Basics

Property owners must keep walkways reasonably safe or warn about dangers they knew—or should have known—existed. Nevada’s two-year statute of limitations (NRS 11.190(4)(e)) applies to most injury claims. Nevada also uses comparative negligence. If you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover; your award just drops by your share of blame.

Common Causes (and Why They Matter)

Many falls happen because something was left unfixed or unmarked. Proving notice, actual or constructive, is key.

  • Fresh spills with no warning signs
  • Greasy kitchen or buffet floors in casinos and restaurants
  • Torn carpet, broken tiles, uneven sidewalks
  • Poor lighting in stairwells or parking garages
  • Loose handrails, missing guardrails, unsafe escalators or elevators
  • Debris or cords across walkways during events or construction

Locking down photos, incident reports, and cleaning logs helps show the hazard wasn’t “sudden” or “unavoidable.”

What to Do After a Fall Accident

Get medical care first, then protect your claim.

Do:

  • Report the fall to management and get a copy of the incident report
  • Photograph the hazard, your shoes, and any warning signs (or the lack of them)
  • Collect witness names and phone numbers
  • Save bills, prescriptions, and doctor notes

Don’t:

  • Give recorded statements to the property’s insurer before you talk to a lawyer
  • Post details or photos on social media
  • Skip doctor visits or ignore treatment plans—gaps hurt your case
  • Throw away the shoes or clothes you wore (they can be evidence)

Damages You May Recover

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Out-of-pocket costs (transport, home help, devices)
  • In rare cases, punitive damages for reckless conduct

FAQs About Slip and Fall Cases in Nevada

Generally, two years from the injury. Don’t wait, evidence disappears fast.

A sign helps the defense, but it’s not a free pass. We show if placement, size, or timing still leaves you at risk.

Yes. Casinos and resorts owe the same duty of care to their patrons. Their surveillance videos and maintenance logs are critical.

You can still recover if you’re under 50% at fault. Your share of blame reduces the payout.

Most slip and fall cases are handled on a contingency basis. You pay nothing unless we recover. Terms go in the fee agreement.

Maybe. Most settle, but only when the property’s insurer knows we’re ready to try it. We prepare for court from the very beginning.

It’s still possible to claim, but it’s harder. We seek video footage, witnesses, and medical records to establish a connection between the fall and your injuries.
