Slip and Fall
Las Vegas Slip and Fall Attorneys
In Las Vegas, Nevada and elsewhere, slip and fall (or trip and fall) accidents are often viewed with suspicion because slip and fall claims can be fraudulently filed by unscrupulous plaintiffs. The lawyers at Cohan PLLC have dealt with all types of slip and fall cases that occur regularly at big-box stores, casinos, and other commercial properties.
Wet Floors. When a floor is wet, it is important to warn the public by putting up signs. It is surprising how many times this simple security step is not taken.
Slippery Substances Dropped by Others. Often, customers drop an item in a store and leave it there without notifying anyone. If the substance is on the floor for an unreasonable time or if an employee sees it before a slip and fall but takes no action, the store and their insurers would be liable for your injuries.
Defective surfaces. Uneven or broken surfaces can subject a property owner to liability for a slip and fall claim if the defect is an unreasonably dangerous condition.

Who is Liable for a Slip and Fall?
Sometimes, accidents happen. In the law, they say that a property owner is not the insurer of the safety of every person on their premises. However, many slip and falls occur because the property owner or their employees were negligent in taking care of the premises.
If you were injured in a slip and fall accident and you believe the property owner was responsible for the accident, do not hesitate to contact the attorneys at Cohan PLLC to learn more about your legal options. One of the best ways to recover compensation following a slip and fall accident is to file an insurance claim against the property owner’s liability insurance. If you were at a residence, there should be a homeowner’s insurance policy. If you were at a business, there should be a general liability policy.
