What Is a Slip and Fall Accident?


A slip and fall accident is just what it sounds like: you slip (or trip), fall, and sustain an injury. Resulting injuries can range from mild bruising to severe, life-long repercussions. In fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration says that falls are the leading cause of workplace fatalities, accounting for 39 percent of job site deaths per year.

Even if you believe you may have contributed to an accident in some way—for example, if you were walking while distracted—never let that prevent you from contacting a seasoned and skilled Las Vegas personal injury lawyer to discuss your eligibility for compensation.

These kinds of accidents can cause serious injuries that lead to long-term pain. According to the CDC, one out of every five falls results in a serious injury, and over 800,000 people visit the emergency room each year because of a fall injury. In the construction industry, for example, falls are the leading cause of jobsite fatalities. When your fall is the result of another party’s negligence, that person or establishment may hold legal responsibility for your injuries or even a wrongful death claim. At Benson & Bingham, our attorneys always fight for maximum compensation on your behalf. Contact us today to learn about your rights by speaking with a Las Vegas slip and fall attorney.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire An Experienced Slip and Fall Lawyer in Las Vegas?


The costs of hiring a personal injury lawyer for your accident can vary by law firm. However, the policy at Benson & Bingham is to not take any payments upfront, and only after you receive the compensation for your injuries. This means that you can pay your lawyer out of the money you receive instead of out of your own pocket. At Benson & Bingham, our accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis—meaning clients pay nothing upfront and no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on their behalf. We choose this model because we believe justice should be accessible to everyone, not only those who can afford to pay for it in advance.

Who Can You Hold Responsible For Your Las Vegas Slip and Fall Accident?


When you experience a slip and fall, there are several potential parties that you could hold accountable. It all depends on the location and circumstances, but in most cases, slip and fall victims could blame property owners, tenants, property management companies, cleaning staff, landlords, or any agency in charge of the location where the accident happened. In the end, you could sue just about anybody for your injuries, but you must show that the individual owed you a duty of care, they breached that duty, and the breach caused your injuries. Our lawyers can help you determine who might be liable for your injuries and what that claim could look like.

How to Know If You Have a Viable Slip and Fall Case in Las Vegas


There is specific criteria your case must meet in order to be a viable slip and fall case. Our lawyers can help you evaluate your situation in detail. According to Nevada premises liability law, the property owner in Las Vegas must have owed you a duty of care to keep their premises safe. If they are negligent and breach that duty of care, and you were injured, you could have a legitimate case. However, victims of a slip and fall incident must be able to connect this breach to your injuries. This can be accomplished through photos, surveillance footage, eyewitnesses, medical bills, reports, and more. The state of Nevada is a comparative fault state, which means that if you are partly to blame for the accident, you may still be able to obtain a percentage of compensation for your injuries. We stand ready to help you evaluate your circumstances.

Receiving The Compensation You Deserve for Your Slip and Fall Injuries


Insurance companies in Nevada and beyond are notorious for trying to downplay your struggle and minimize your settlement amount as much as possible. In many slip and fall cases, they do this by offering a lowball settlement and pressuring you to accept it. They may also call you and ask leading questions to make you admit some amount of fault in the case. Under Nevada’s modified comparative negligence rule, admitting any degree of fault could reduce your compensation. Our lawyers will step in on your behalf, negotiate, and fight for the justice and relief you deserve. You can have 24/7 peace of mind knowing that everything possible is being done to advance and strengthen your case.

How Long Do You Have to File a Las Vegas Slip and Fall Suit After an Accident?


Typically, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is two years from the date of the accident, however, there are some exceptions. Slip and fall victims may find that if their injuries were not discovered until later, the two-year clock does not start until the date they discovered or reasonably should have discovered the injury. Minors are another exception—their statute of limitations does not begin until they turn the age of 18. Additionally, if someone is in a coma or the defendant is out-of-state, the deadline may be paused until consciousness is regained or the defendant has returned. If you’re unsure how long you have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Las Vegas, or elsewhere in Nevada, our injury lawyers can help. Contact Benson & Bingham Accident Injury Lawyers today to get clarity on the merits of your specific case.

Additional Las Vegas Slip and Fall FAQ

What Should I Do After A Las Vegas Slip And Fall Accident?

Casinos are busy, and let’s be honest, falls can be embarrassing and detrimental. It’s natural to immediately get up and pretend nothing happened, but this is generally a mistake (and exactly what the casino or hotel hopes you will do). While you may feel fine, symptoms may present gradually over the next couple of hours or days. If you ignore your symptoms and don’t report the incident promptly, you may likely be responsible for all medical costs to follow. Immediately let the management or staff on premise know what happened and file an official accident report.

Besides that, there are a few things that you should do to preserve your legal rights, including:

  • Gather Evidence: It may not come as a surprise, but casinos, hotels, and other proprietors don’t want to pay out money in these cases. This means it’s up to you to prove that the casino or other entity was at fault. There are many ways to accomplish this. If there are witnesses, ask for their contact information or statements. Take photos of the accident scene and what caused your fall. It’s also a good idea to note the time an accident occurs in case there is security footage available. You should also file an official report with the relevant establishment.
  • Go To The Doctor: You need to establish official diagnoses for your injuries and medical care to map out recovery. A doctor will thoroughly check you for any serious injuries or physical damage. It’s typically a good idea to visit a doctor as soon as you can after a fall so there is no time gap in taking action. Don’t worry if you are a visitor in town. Most local hospitals and urgent care facilities will work with you to make sure you get the best care for your situation.
  • Contact A Premises Liability Attorney: Again, your injuries may seem minor at first, but it’s important to talk to an experienced injury attorney to see if you have a case. In addition to medical costs, a Las Vegas slip and fall lawsuit can help you recover lost wages along with compensation for pain and suffering. An experienced attorney in Las Vegas can review your case and guide you through the next steps moving forward. The seasoned and skilled attorneys at Benson & Bingham Injury Law have litigated against major hotels and casinos in Las Vegas.

Where Do Most Slip and Fall Accidents Occur in Las Vegas?

Unfortunately, when it comes to slip and falls, these accidents can happen almost anywhere, and when they do, you’ve got to be ready to seek expert legal advice from a skilled law firm.

Specifically, in Las Vegas, public slip and falls tend to occur most frequently in places like:

  • Office buildings
  • Grocery stores and malls (such as Meadows Mall, Walmart, Target, or Boulevard Mall)
  • Sidewalks or walkways
  • Residential homes
  • Parking lots
  • Stairs or ladders
  • Escalators and elevators
  • Restaurants and dining establishments
  • Hotels and casinos on the Strip and Fremont Street, from the Wynn and Bellagio to Caesars Palace and the MGM Grand – no casino property is immune from a claim
  • Sporting events or stadium sites
  • Job or work sites
  • Bars or clubs
  • Government buildings

What Are the Common Types of Slip & Fall Accidents in Las Vegas?

In Las Vegas, slip and fall accidents can happen for many reasons, especially in busy areas like casinos, hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and other public spaces. The most common types include: slipping on wet floors, tripping on uneven surfaces or other tripping hazards, injuries due to poor lighting or visibility, and stairway accidents. With the amount of flashing lights, distractions, fountains, pools, food service areas, and more in Las Vegas, there is a plethora of opportunities for injuries to occur. If you believe you should be compensated for your accident or injury, please reach out to our skilled personal injury attorneys today.

What Are the Typical Injuries From Slip & Fall Incidents?

Slip and fall injuries can range from minor bruises to life-altering circumstances. In any case, it is important to reach out to our Las Vegas personal injury attorneys to see if you could be entitled to compensation. Slip and falls may result in head injuries from falling on a hard casino floor, back and spinal cord injuries from poorly maintained parking lots or sidewalks, neck and shoulder injuries from twisting while trying to catch yourself, broken bones from uneven pavement, and much more. Talk to an attorney to discuss your particular injuries in detail.

Should You Provide a Statement to the Insurance Company After a Las Vegas Slip and Fall?

Short answer: No. Unfortunately, most people wrongly assume that the insurance company wants to help them after an accident. However, you need to remember that the insurance company is not there to support you in your case. They are in a business that wants to make a profit, and by offering you less than you are entitled to, they end up keeping more money, and for them, that is the name of the game.

The insurance adjuster may try to get you on the phone as soon as possible following your accident in hopes of getting you to admit to something that can impact your case, or to pressure you into accepting less than you’re owed. When you reach out to an experienced Las Vegas slip and fall lawyer before you take these calls from the insurance company, they will prepare you to better handle these deceitful games that the insurance companies like to play and will even handle these conversations and discussions on your behalf, ensuring you do not say anything that can hurt your case or accept less than the full amount you are owed for your losses.

How Long Will It Take for a Slip and Fall Legal Case to Resolve in Las Vegas?

Typically, when it comes to a slip and fall case, there is no set period of time that dictates how long it might take to resolve. Each case is unique, and the factors involved in your accident or injury can affect the timeframe of the process and impact how long it takes to secure justice and compensation.

The duration of a slip and fall claim often depends on several factors, including:

  • The type of harm sustained and the severity of the injuries
  • The medical treatments involved and what that will look like in the future
  • The amount of time it will take to reach a point of maximum medical improvement
  • Whether there are problematic legal or technical issues with the case
  • Whether the insurer is willing to take part in fair and just negotiations
  • The amount of money that is involved in the case and its elements

Consequently, these slip and fall cases can take anywhere from a few months to even years to resolve, especially if the case ends up heading to trial. However, when the accident victims work with a knowledgeable slip and fall lawyer in Las Vegas, they can help keep you informed throughout the legal process as they fight for the financial damages you are entitled to.

How Much Money Can You Expect to Get Following a Las Vegas Slip-and-Fall Accident?

Although an experienced slip and fall lawyer can help you figure out the damages you should pursue following a slip and fall accident, and may even be instrumental in helping you secure significant compensation, the attorneys cannot guarantee that you will receive any money at all for your injuries and cannot promise you will receive a certain amount by the end of your case.

In truth, the average settlement for an accident case often depends on numerous factors, including:

  • The type of injuries you sustained and the severity of these injuries
  • The type of medical treatments you will need now and in the future
  • Whether the injuries that resulted from the accident are permanent
  • The ability to work after the accident in the same position
  • The amount of lost wages you sustained
  • The location or conditions of the fall
  • The ability to take part in activities you did before the accident
  • The extent of your pain and suffering
  • The defendant’s culpability
  • The credibility of the evidence presented

Fortunately, when you work with a slip and fall attorney in Las Vegas, you do not have to tackle these factors on your own. At Benson & Bingham, our attorneys have years of experience handling these types of cases and understand the elements that can impact the value of your claim.

In fact, managing partner Joseph L. Benson II, Esq. literally “wrote the book” on premise liability titled “Oops! Pay Up”. When you work with our legal team, we guide you every step of the way, determining how each factor influences your case, preparing strong responses, and fighting hard for the maximum financial damages you deserve. To get started, contact us today.

Do You Need to See a Doctor for Minor Injuries After a Las Vegas Slip and Fall?

After a slip and fall accident, not all injuries will immediately appear severe. Symptoms of some severe injuries, such as brain trauma or internal bleeding, can take some time to develop. Yet, the longer you wait to get medical treatment, the more debilitating and devastating the injury can become. For these reasons, it is best not to wait to see a doctor after your slip and fall accident. Instead, see a doctor as soon as possible to receive the medical treatment(s) you may need.

Plus, getting to a doctor promptly can help your legal claim. This is because, following a personal injury accident, the insurance company will try to find anything they can to use against you so that they can deny your case. By not getting prompt medical treatment, the insurer will try to argue that your injuries were not severe enough to warrant medical attention, or were even the result of a separate incident entirely. Protect yourself against these arguments.

When you schedule a doctor’s visit immediately after your accident, these medical professionals can prepare a custom medical report detailing what happened in the incident and the extent of your injuries and damages. Ultimately, they provide you with critical evidence of a direct link between the harm you sustained and your slip and fall accident, which is vital to your case.
