Henderson Slip and Fall Lawyer

Injuries That May Result from a Slip & Fall Accident

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly one in five falls produces a serious injury. Your age, health, and how you land all factor into how badly a fall can hurt you. The CDC has identified older adults as especially vulnerable to severe outcomes, with hip fractures ranking among the most common.

Age alone does not determine the damage, though. Anyone who goes down on a wet floor or an uneven walkway can walk away with injuries such as:

• Fractures to the arms and hands — wrists, forearms, and elbows absorb enormous force when a person instinctively throws out a hand to break a fall
• Hip fractures, which carry a particularly grim outlook for older adults and are associated with a steep decline in health after the injury
• Traumatic brain injuries, where bleeding or swelling inside the skull can develop rapidly and leave permanent deficits or prove fatal
• Deep tissue bruising and nerve damage that lingers long after the visible marks fade

This list barely scratches the surface. A serious fall can cost you months or years away from your job, and some people never make it back to the work they did before. If you need financial recovery to cover what this accident has taken from you, a slip and fall injury lawyer can carry the legal load while you focus on healing.

Work With a Henderson Slip and Fall Injury Lawyer to Recover What You Are Owed

A fall caused by someone else’s carelessness can leave you covering costs that were never yours to carry. Medical bills tend to pile up fast, and they rarely stop at the emergency room visit.

An attorney can build a case designed to shift that financial burden back onto the party responsible for your injuries. That work can include:

• Submitting your case through the proper court
• Gathering proof that ties the defendant to the hazardous condition
• Tracking down witnesses who observed the scene, the hazard, or the conduct that amounts to negligence
• Presenting liability arguments to the jury
• Documenting the full scope of your losses and demonstrating why compensation is warranted
• Managing each phase of the case from filing through verdict or settlement
• Protecting your interests at every stage of the process

A favorable outcome may result in recovery for:

• Hospital and treatment costs
• Wages you lost while unable to work
• Ongoing and future rehabilitation care
• Physical pain and emotional suffering

Whether your matter moves forward as an insurance claim or a court filing, having counsel in your corner lets you put your energy toward healing instead of paperwork. Reach out to Court King Law for a free case review.

Deadlines for Filing

Every state sets a window for bringing a civil action, and Nevada is no exception. Under NRS 11.190(4)(e), most injury victims have two years from the date of the injury to file suit, and families bringing a wrongful death claim likewise have two years, measured from the date of death. Certain situations can extend or alter those periods — Nevada’s discovery rule, for instance, can start the two-year clock on the date an injury was found rather than the date of the accident, and claims involving an injured minor generally do not begin running until the child turns 18. No matter how long ago your accident happened, a Nevada slip and fall injury lawyer can tell you where you stand — and the earlier you make that call, the more time your legal team has to assemble a strong claim.
