Premises Liability

Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe premises. When you enter a business, go to a friend’s house, or walk through a public place, you have a reasonable expectation of safety. If you get hurt because of an unmarked hazard, you may have a good case for compensation.

For example, imagine that a work crew digs a deep hole in Cornerstone Park and leaves it unmarked. You fall in and break your leg. In this case, you can consider filing a premises liability lawsuit against the City of Henderson.

Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries are the most serious of all. They may be fatal or cause permanent or long-lasting functional disabilities. These are some common examples:

• Serious traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Major damage to internal organs
• Injuries leading to amputations

If you suffer a catastrophic injury, you may be entitled to more than compensation for current and past medical bills. Most of these injuries come with long-term expenses, and the right personal injury lawyer can strive to get the help you need to secure your financial future.

Wrongful Death Attorney 

In some cases, catastrophic injuries lead to death. Losing a loved one is devastating no matter the circumstances, but when someone else’s negligence has caused the death, the tragedy is compounded.

A wrongful death lawsuit can’t bring a loved one back, but it can cover expenses and support your family as you grieve. You can seek compensation for your loved one’s funeral and burial costs, lost wages that would have gone to provide for your family, and the emotional distress you’ve experienced.

Slip And Fall 

Many large slip-and-fall settlements make the news. Not all of these cases result in multimillion-dollar settlements, but those that involve major injuries may lead to compensation for medical costs, loss of quality of life, loss of earning capacity, and more.

The classic example of a slip-and-fall case is slipping and falling on an unmarked wet floor, but other dangerous situations cause equally devastating injuries:

• Falling on an icy sidewalk
• Falling through rotted-out stairs
• Tripping and falling due to poor lighting
• Tripping over debris in an aisle or hallway

If you’ve been hurt on someone else’s property, we might be able to help.

Workers’ Compensation

Most Nevada employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If you get hurt at work, you can file a claim with your employer’s insurance provider and receive compensation for medical care and lost wages — at least in theory. 

Unfortunately, many deserving workers have their claims denied. Our workers’ compensation lawyers could help you craft an appeal, carrying out a tough fight for the benefits you are entitled to.
