Slip/Trip & Falls
Slip and Falls can cause severe injuries, including hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries, making it difficult to live independently. The Center for Decease Control (“CDC”) reports falls as a leading cause of traumatic brain injuries and the third leading cause of death from accidental injuries.Nevada Law (NRS—š41.130) allows for the compensation for another’s wrongful act or negligence when suffering injury because of such wrongful acts and/or negligence:
“Whenever any person shall suffer personal injury by wrongful act, neglect, or default of another, the person causing the injury is liable to the person injured for damages; and where the person causing the injury is employed by another person or corporation responsible for the conduct of the person causing the injury, that other person or corporation so responsible is liable to the person injured for damages.”
