Plaintiffs can seek damages depending on the accident and the circumstances surrounding it. In standard negligence claims, they can seek compensatory damages to cover:
In Nevada, you have two years to file a personal injury claim, including slip and fall accidents. There are instances where the deadline is extended, but those are for special circumstances. Talk to a lawyer immediately if you get injured because of a slip and fall accident.
Call for medical attention after a slip and fall accident, especially if you are in pain. Your health comes first, and it is crucial to get checked immediately.
Report the incident at once to the proper authorities. Most commercial properties have a process for this. You can also call the police to give your official statement.
Gather evidence about the accident. Talk to potential witnesses to get their point of view and write it down. Take down their contact details, too.
Most importantly, talk to a slip and fall accident lawyer who can help organize the information to build your claim.
