Getting hurt on someone else’s property can flip your life upside down. Whether you slipped on a wet floor at the store, tripped on uneven pavement, or were injured because of poor lighting or security, you might be able to file a premises liability claim. At Friedman Injury Law, we help people in Boulder City who were hurt due to unsafe property conditions.
If a property owner didn’t take care of their space and you got hurt because of it, you might be owed money for your medical bills, missed work, and more. We handle these cases from start to finish so you can focus on healing while we take care of everything else.
We Handle All Types of Premises Liability Cases in Boulder City
There are many ways people get hurt on private or public property. No matter what type of property you were injured on — a home, a business, or government-owned land — we look into whether the owner or person in charge did something wrong or failed to fix a problem.
Here are some of the most common types of cases we handle in Boulder City:
- Slip and fall accidents on wet, icy, or broken surfaces
- Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
- Uneven sidewalks or floors
- Broken handrails or staircases
- Inadequate maintenance in stores or apartment complexes
- Dog bites or animal attacks on private property
- Negligent security that led to assaults or other crimes
- Elevator or escalator accidents
- Swimming pool injuries due to lack of supervision or safety barriers
Every case is different, and not every injury will lead to a successful claim. That’s why it’s important to let us look into what happened.
What Is Premises Liability in Nevada?
Premises liability means that a property owner is responsible for keeping their property safe. In Nevada, the law says that owners owe a duty of care to most people who come onto their property. This duty changes depending on who the person is.
- Invitees are people invited onto the property for business reasons, like customers. Property owners owe them the highest level of care.
- Licensees are people allowed on the property for non-business reasons, like social guests. Owners still have to warn them about hidden dangers.
- Trespassers usually have fewer protections, but there are exceptions, especially if children are involved.
To win a premises liability case in Boulder City, we need to prove four things:
- You were allowed on the property or the owner knew you were there
- There was a dangerous condition on the property
- The owner knew or should’ve known about the danger and didn’t fix it or warn you
- You got hurt because of it
We build your case by showing these facts with evidence, like photos, video footage, witness statements, and expert opinions when needed.
How Long Do You Have to File a Premises Liability Claim in Nevada?
Nevada gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This deadline comes from NRS 11.190. If you miss this window, you might lose your right to recover anything.
It’s smart to contact us as soon as possible after the injury. That way, we can start gathering evidence, talking to witnesses, and making sure everything is filed on time. Waiting too long can make your case harder to prove.
Damages You Can Recover After a Premises Liability Injury
When someone else’s mistake or carelessness causes your injury, you shouldn’t be stuck paying for the damage. If we take your case, our goal is to get you every dollar you’re owed.
You may be able to recover:
- Medical bills, including future treatment
- Emergency room care
- Hospital stays and surgeries
- Physical therapy or rehab
- Medication and medical equipment
- Lost wages from missed work
- Reduced earning ability if you can’t return to the same job
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional stress or trauma
- Long-term disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages if you lost a loved one in a premises accident
Some of these damages are easy to show with receipts or pay stubs. Others, like pain and suffering, are harder to measure, but we know how to prove their value.
How We Prove the Property Owner Was at Fault
Proving fault is key in any premises liability case. The property owner might claim they didn’t know about the problem or that you were to blame for your own injury.
We investigate every case carefully by:
- Reviewing photos or videos from the scene
- Talking to witnesses who saw what happened
- Getting maintenance records or incident reports
- Working with safety or medical experts
- Gathering your medical records and work history
We don’t let property owners or their insurance companies shift the blame or lowball your damages. We build a strong case to show what really happened and how it affected your life.
