How Does a Slip-and-Fall Happen?
A slip-and-fall is a type of premises liability accident where the property owner is responsible for their guests’ injuries. These can happen under numerous circumstances. An example is if a store customer injured themselves after slipping or tripping on a hole in the tiled floor because there was no caution sign or barrier marking off the area. However, the owner would only be liable for the victim’s damages if they were aware of the hazard and failed to resolve the unsafe conditions.
The law deems their conduct as negligent if a property owner:
- Does not provide sufficient warning of a safety hazard
- Ignores the issue
- Makes less than a reasonable effort to resolve the problem
- Otherwise fails to protect visitors on their premises from a danger that they know about
Liable parties can include individuals or entities beyond the property owner; the “owner” could be a person, a corporation, or multiple parties. It’s also possible for a negligent employee, a security company, or other relevant entity to be held responsible if their response to the hazard or instructions to resolve it are proven to be negligent.
A slip-and-fall, or any accident applicable to the premises liability of property owners, can happen in most places. Common places where slip-and-fall injuries can occur include:
- Sidewalks and crosswalks
- Stairs and steps
- Grocery stores
- Retail shops and malls
- Restaurants
- Coffee shops
- Parks
- Gyms
- Public swimming pools
- Amusement parks
- Schools and campuses
- Apartment complexes
- Parking lots and garages
- Construction sites
- Workplaces
- Private property
What to Do After a Slip-and-Fall Accident
After an unexpected slip-and-fall incident in Primm, Nevada, it’s important to take action quickly and effectively. Proceed to take pictures of the hazardous condition that caused you to slip or trip. Make sure to also have photographic evidence showing your injuries from the fault. If no obvious injuries are apparent right after the accident, it can still be effective to take pictures of rips to your clothing or other damage to your personal property.
Once you’ve gathered proof of the accident site and the general surroundings, including a lack of any signs conveying caution to visitors, it’s advised that you promptly seek medical attention. Even if you don’t think you sustained any physical harm or that your injuries are minor, it’s important to get the opinion of a medical professional. Some injuries may be undetectable beyond a doctor’s examination/equipment or aren’t apparent to you right away. Seeing a physician also serves as crucial evidence in your personal injury claim.
After receiving medical care, you should consult an injury law attorney as soon as you can. A lawyer is an important resource to have at this time, as they can begin working on your injury case while you focus on recovering from your injuries, along with your other life obligations.
FAQs
Q: Can I Claim Compensation for a Fall?
A: Yes, you can claim the right to financial compensation after a falling accident. You must prove that you were injured while lawfully on another party’s property and that the dangerous condition that caused your fall was a result of the owner’s negligence. Contact a qualified attorney experienced in injury law if you’re unsure about the strength of your claim or whether your slip-and-fall may be an instance of negligent injury under premises liability law.
Q: Is It Considered a Slip-and-Fall If It’s at an Acquaintance’s House?
A: Generally, yes, it’s possible to file an injury claim, even from incidents that occurred on private property. However, you must have been expressly invited onto the premises. If you were hurt on the property while the homeowner was unaware of your presence, whether with criminal or innocuous intentions, you’re unlikely to be covered by premises liability.
Q: What Is the Legal Term for Slip-and-Fall?
A: In legal terms, a slip-and-fall is a form of premises liability. Premises liability refers to a specific area of personal injury law. It encompasses injuries occurring on public or private property because of unsafe conditions or hazards. To be considered negligence and, thus, a personal injury under the law, the hazardous condition must have been ignored or insufficiently resolved after the property owner was made aware of it.
Q: What Is the Statute of Limitations on Premises Liability in Nevada?
A: The statute of limitations in Nevada for premises liability cases is two years, so the victim must file an official claim within two years of the date of their injury or when the injury was discovered. To avoid the potential of the statute passing, it’s advised that you take legal action promptly after your accident.
Q: How Do You Treat a Slip-and-Fall Injury?
A: The treatment for a slip-and-fall injury is going to greatly depend on the type of physical harm you sustained from the incident, including how serious the bodily damage is. It’s wise to seek the attention of a trained medical physician after suffering a significant fall. A professional can effectively assess the extent of your injuries and prescribe the appropriate care needed to recover.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
