Premises liability is the area of law that holds property owners, businesses, and landlords responsible for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe or negligent conditions. Under Nevada law, property owners owe a duty of reasonable care to visitors.
Premises liability encompasses far more than slip and fall accidents. From dog bites to casino security failures to swimming pool drownings, any injury caused by a property owner's negligence may give rise to a legal claim.
Our Nevada premises liability attorneys investigate these cases thoroughly, obtain surveillance footage and incident reports, identify all liable parties, and pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.
Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Nevada Dog Bite Law
Nevada follows a negligence standard for dog bite cases, meaning the owner may be liable if they knew or should have known their dog was dangerous. Dog bites can cause serious physical injuries, including lacerations, infections, nerve damage, and permanent scarring.
Inadequate Security Claims in Nevada
Property owners — particularly hotels, casinos, apartment complexes, and shopping centers — have a duty to provide adequate security when they know or should know that criminal activity is foreseeable. When inadequate lighting, absent security guards, or broken locks contribute to a violent attack, the property owner may be liable.
Visitor Classifications Under Nevada Law
Invitee
A person invited onto the property for the owner's benefit (customers, shoppers, restaurant patrons). Property owners owe invitees the highest duty of care — to inspect, maintain, and warn of hazardous conditions.
Licensee
A social guest or someone permitted on the property for their own purposes. Owners must warn of known dangers and refrain from willful or wanton misconduct.
Trespasser
Someone on the property without permission. Owners generally owe a minimal duty to trespassers, though children may have additional protections under the 'attractive nuisance' doctrine.
