Slip and Fall Hotel Accident Cases
Las Vegas, Nevada
Slip and fall accident claims
Many clients ask, "Can you sue a hotel if you fall on their property? What compensation should I expect for a hotel accident?"
Here is what you need to know
Whether you have a legal claim depends on many variables:
• Was the slip and fall accident a result of hotel negligence?
• Could the hotel management prevent this accident?
• Were there eyewitnesses to your slip and fall accident?
• Do you have pictures of the accident area and your injuries?
• Did you report your slip and fall accident to the hotel management, and did they create an incident report?
But most importantly:
• Did you end up in a hospital after the slip and fall accident, or did your accident result in minor scratches and bruises?
• Do you miss work after the accident?
If your hotel accident resulted in a severe injury, and you were rushed to a hospital, if and couldn't work after the accident, call us at 702-432-1000 to discuss your case. We helped many victims of hotel accidents to get their fair and full settlement to pay for their medical bills and other damages.
Where hotel accidents happen
The slip and fall accident at the hotel could happen everywhere on a hotel property: hotel lobby, hotel room or bathroom, hotel restaurant, bar, cafe, casino floor, swimming pool, hotel spa, parking garage, or any other place on the hotel grounds.
Why do hotel accidents happen?
While there are many reasons for slip and fall accidents, they often result from the negligence of the hotel owners or the management company who runs the hotel.
If the hotel knew about the hazardous conditions in the hotel and did nothing about it, if the hotel didn't act reasonably fast to fix the problem, the hotel is financially liable for all damages to the victim, including all their medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.
The most common accidents in hotels in Las Vegas are slip, trip and fall.
What to do if you get hurt at a hotel?
a) Notify hotel management about your accident,
b) Seek medical help,
c) Take many pictures of the area where your accident happened from different angles, and
d) Consult an attorney who handled many hotel accidents in the past.
We invite you to call us at 702-432-1000 to discuss your case.
No witnesses: What to do if the slip and fall accident happened in the hotel room?
This question comes up very often, mainly because accidents in a hotel room often have no witnesses. Even so, if your accident had no witnesses, you still may gather enough information to have a compelling case with the hotel insurance company.
1. Take many pictures of your injuries and the slipping surfaces or damaged carpet that cause a slip and fall accident.
2. File the incident report with the hotel management.
3. Document your visit to the hospital and keep receipts from the doctor's visit and all treatment you received.
4. Contact a hotel accident attorney.
Hotel injury compensation for slip and fall
The hotel injury compensation depends on many factors, but primarily how severe your injuries are and how much medical treatment is needed. Hotel injury compensation always includes your previous, current, and sometimes future medical bills. Pain and suffering are also part of hotel injury compensation.
In Las Vegas and other parts of Nevada, we see hotel compensations in five or six digits.
If you want to know what compensation realistically you can expect after your slip and fall accident at the hotel, call us to speak with our attorney for personal injury. We don't charge for consultations.
If you are partly at fault
Nevada is a comparative negligence state, which means you are still entitled to accident compensation even if you are partially at fault (less than 51%). Often, intoxicated victims fall into this category.
Settlements when the victim has prior injuries
Pre-existing injuries may affect your settlement. The plaintiff is still entitled to accident compensation, but it may lead to a smaller payment in some cases. For further information, call our office at 702-432-1000.
