Injuries in Las Vegas: Premises Security

If you are injured on another's property, the property owner may be liable for damages caused by the owner's negligence or that of their employees. Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment and when they fail to meet that responsibility severe injury can result.

In Nevada, tourism is a primary industry and visitors have the right to expect a safe environment for recreation. People can be injured in slip and falls, elevator accidents, swimming pool accidents, themed ride failures, and failures in construction. Also, security lapses can result in assaults, robbery, and rape.

Tourists are not the only ones hurt due to unsecured premises. Daycare and playground accidents, animal attacks, and exposure to dangerous substances such as mold or toxic chemicals can also harm you and your loved ones.

If you've been injured on someone else's property due to their negligence, you are entitled to compensation for all of your medical expenses, lost earnings, any resulting disability, pain and suffering, and emotional distress arising from the accident, and loss of ability to normally enjoy your life.

If you have been injured due to conditions such as these, it is important to have a record of the scene made as soon as possible, before property management corrects the dangerous condition. Take pictures or have someone take them for you as soon as possible. In many cases photos of the scene taken after dangerous conditions have been remedied are inadmissible, so it is important to act quickly.
