If you’ve been injured by the wrongdoing of someone else, you may be entitled to payment for your medical expenses, the pain you had to go through, and the time you missed from work.
Trip and fall injuries can happen due to unmarked steps, inadequate lighting, and uneven walkways. Owners of businesses, homes, and other types of private and public property have a responsibility to keep their premises safe and free of hazards. If you have been the victim of a trip and fall accident, it is important to consult with an attorney immediately.
In a place like Nevada, trip and fall injuries are a common occurrence. These injuries fall under premises liability laws. This means that if you suffer injuries on someone else’s property, the property owner could be liable for your damages.
Legally, a “trip and fall” entails falling as a result of:
Uneven or Broken Flooring: Uneven or broken flooring can cause a person to trip and fall. This can occur in parking lots, sidewalks, or on indoor flooring. Property owners and managers should regularly inspect their premises to identify any uneven or broken flooring and repair it as soon as possible.
Loose Carpeting or Rugs: Loose carpeting or rugs can also cause a person to trip and fall. Property owners and managers should ensure that all carpeting and rugs are properly installed and maintained to prevent tripping hazards.
Inadequate Lighting: Poor lighting can make it difficult for individuals to see potential hazards, such as uneven flooring or debris on the ground. Property owners and managers should ensure that all areas of their premises are well-lit to prevent trip and fall accidents.
Debris or Obstacles on the Ground: Debris or obstacles on the ground, such as loose wires or boxes, can cause a person to trip and fall. Property owners and managers should ensure that their premises is free of obstacles that could cause a trip and fall accident.
Poorly Maintained Sidewalks or Parking Lots: Sidewalks and parking lots that are not properly maintained can also cause trip and fall accidents. Property owners and managers should regularly inspect and maintain their sidewalks and parking lots to prevent accidents.
