Why Reach Out to Summerlin Slip And Fall Accident Lawyers
Your slip and fall or premises liability injury could have happened at a Summerlin casino, bar, or hotel. Restaurants are another common place for slips and trips, as well as retail stores. When such an injury occurs on a commercial property, you may need to sue a business’ insurance company for your financial compensation.
Since it’s a business, they may be able to afford a very aggressive insurance company who will fight to keep their customer’s liability low. Even if an individual was at fault, their insurance company can be equally intense.
However, the reason for insurance companies to exist should be to cover damages from accidents. Still, they will do whatever they can to meet their own quotas, and there is no guarantee that they will just give you what you are owed. This is why it is so important to work with a knowledgeable and experienced attorney at Lerner and Rowe.
Slip and Fall Injuries Handled by Our Summerlin Slip and Fall Accident Attorneys
Many injuries can occur as a result of slip and falls in Summerlin, but here are a few that our clients have experienced:
- Whiplash
- Paralysis or other spinal cord injury
- Broken bones, and even amputation
- Cuts, lacerations, bruises, etc.
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or concussions
- Fractures and sprains
These injuries may happen at a loved one’s home, meaning that their insurance company now owes you your financial compensation. This is an important distinction to understand, as you may be nervous about “suing” a family member or friend. In reality, you most likely would not sue the individual. Your attorney will help you navigate this regardless, and let you know what your best options are.
Moreover, we will look into possible other causes of your injuries. For instance, say that you fell down the stairs at your friend’s new home. Your friend may have very little to do with that accident, as we may be able to prove that the defective equipment used to build the stairway was in fact the cause. Or, we may find that the builders were negligent in their installation of the staircase or handrail.
In the end, reaching out to an attorney after a slip and fall is a good idea, even if your injuries happened at a friend’s property. There may be more to the story that only an experienced attorney will be able to discover.

How Long Do I Have to File My Claim for Injuries From Slip And Fall Accidents?
The Nevada statute of limitations states that you have just two years from the date of your accident to file a claim for any slip and fall injuries. Should you miss this personal deadline, you will also miss out on your financial compensation. Don’t accept a low offer from an insurance company adjuster, but rather, file a claim using the knowledge of your Lerner and Rowe attorney prior to the statute of limitations running out.
