Have you been in an accident on someone else’s property?
Many people believe that if someone is injured on someone else’s property, then the property owner is responsible. This is an oversimplification of the law. The issue becomes complex when you begin to explore the many definitions of property, ownership, and of what it means for someone to “visit” the premises. In Nevada it is not automatic for the property owner to be held solely liable for an accident that occurred on the premises, even if the visitor was invited and the hazard is obvious.
Property owners must continually inspect their property for hidden dangers and hazards and either take steps to remove them, or to make their presence known. Property owners can become liable if they knew or should have been aware of the hazard, and he/she failed to resolve it or to warn visitors. When an injury results because of negligence, a Nevada premises liability case may result in damages awarded to the plaintiff.
If you or someone you know has been injured on the property of another party and you believe negligence may have been to blame, it is essential to retain an experienced and aggressive attorney to fight for what you deserve.
