Slipping and falling in public injures a lot more than your pride.

Proving Liability In A Nevada Slip And Fall Claim
The difference between an embarrassing accident and a personal injury case rests on whether the property owner was negligent. Some slip and fall claims are the victim’s own fault, like running on a clearly wet floor, but most of the time, there is an element of negligence on the property owner’s part. For example, failing to promptly clean up spilled food or drink that someone could slip on or failing to indicate that a floor is wet or slippery, such as placing a wet floor sign, is negligent. The property owner had a duty of care to keep the property safe for visitors and failed to do so. In these cases and similar ones, the property owner or manager must compensate the victim for their losses, including medical care and pain and suffering.
Our attorneys build a case of negligence against the property owner. We may review any security or CCTV footage of the incident or interview employees and other witnesses who saw you fall. We also cite the testimony of expert witnesses, like a medical expert who affirms that your injuries were due to the fall. If your injuries preclude you from working or continuing in your line of work, then we may secure the testimony of a vocational expert who can help us properly value your loss of earning potential. We properly value your case and often are able to secure a better settlement than you would be able to negotiate on your own.
When you work with the attorneys at CVBN Law LLP, you receive focused attention and comprehensive legal representation, from case-building to negotiating with the other party, fielding their phone calls, and representing you at trial.
