Nevada Laws That Impact Your Slip and Fall Accident Claim
Nevada has specific rules that dictate how long you have to file a claim and how partial fault affects your recovery money. Under NRS 11.190(4)(e), you generally have two years from the exact date of your slip and fall accident to file a lawsuit in court. If you miss this tight deadline, you lose your right to demand compensation forever.
In addition, Nevada uses a modified comparative fault rule under NRS 41.141. You can still collect money for your injury as long as you were 50 percent or less at fault for the accident. However, your final settlement amount gets reduced by your percentage of blame. If an insurance adjuster claims you were 20 percent at fault because you were looking at your phone, your payout drops by 20 percent. If they argue you were 51 percent at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance lawyers love to blame injured victims, but backed by over 400 5-star reviews, our law firm knows how to counter those tricks and protect your final payout.
Steps to Take Right After a Slip and Fall Accident
What you do in the minutes and days after getting hurt can make or break your personal injury claim. To keep yourself safe and preserve vital evidence, try to take these action steps:
- Get medical help immediately, even if you think your injury is minor, so a doctor documents your condition right away.
- Report the accident to the property manager, store clerk, or resort security team and ask for a written incident report.
- Snap clear photos and videos of the exact hazard that caused your fall, your footwear, and the surrounding area before anyone cleans it up.
- Gather names and phone numbers from anyone who witnessed your fall.
- Keep the shoes and clothes you were wearing in a safe place without washing them.
- Decline to give recorded statements to insurance adjusters until you have talked with a lawyer.
