What Is Premises Liability?

A premises liability case involves a person being injured on another party’s property. When you visit certain places in Nevada, you have a right to expect that the property is safe and free of hazard. But not all property owners keep their premises free from danger, and a slip and fall or other accident can result in serious injuries. If you have fallen while at the mall, a casino, a government building, or even while on private property, we can help you collect compensation for your personal injury. Our premises liability attorney at the Law Office of William R. Kendall offers legal representation for victims of all types of personal injury, including those relating to premises liability.

Why Should I Hire a Premises Liability Attorney?

Justice

It is crucial to have a lawyer who can stand up for you and present proof of negligence.

What Premises Liability Means for Property Owners

When you are on someone else's property and have a legal right to be there, you have a right to expect that the premises poses no danger to you. Trespassers may also have a case if it can be proven that the owner intentionally harmed them, the owner was aware of their presence and failed to provide warning of danger, or if the trespasser is a child.

A property owner's duties include:

Maintaining even walking surfaces
Keeping flooring clean and dry
Providing security
Keeping the premises properly lit

Establishing a case requires not only proving negligence and liability, but also proving that your injuries are directly related. Many victims of an owner's carelessness suffer physical injuries that require both immediate medical attention and ongoing care. The negligent party is responsible for the repayment of these costs as well as lost wages and other losses. Bill Kendall in Reno is prepared to help make certain you collect what you are owed.

Requirements For a Premises Liability Case in Nevada

To have a qualifying premises liability claim against a property owner in Nevada, you must prove the following:

You had permission to be on the property. You are a visitor or guest on the premises, formally known as an invitee in premises liability law. An invitee is anyone invited to the property or business for the benefit of the owner. For example, a casino or mall in Reno, NV, grants permission for individuals to be there. If you are a trespasser, a successful claim will be much more difficult to substantiate.

A dangerous condition was present on the property. Whether it was a tripping hazard, gas leak, or lack of a security guard, you must prove that a hazardous condition was present on the property. We will collect all information to help prove the existence of a dangerous condition.

The owner knew about, or should have known about, the dangerous condition. Owners can notify visitors of danger by posting signs, blocking off hazardous areas, or fixing the problem. If the owner hasn’t been proactive in fixing issues or maintaining a safe environment, you may qualify for a lawsuit.

Owners are Responsible for Their Animals
