Common Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability cases arise from various situations where a property owner or occupier fails to maintain a reasonably safe environment. Some common types of premises liability cases include:

  • Slip and Fall Accidents: Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of premises liability claims. These accidents can occur due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or obstacles in walkways. Property owners have a duty to regularly inspect and maintain their premises to prevent these hazards.
  • Trip and Fall Accidents: Trip and fall accidents often occur due to hazards like uneven flooring, poorly maintained sidewalks, loose carpeting, or debris. These dangerous conditions can cause severe injuries, including broken bones and head trauma.
  • Inadequate Security: If a property owner fails to provide adequate security measures, such as proper lighting, functioning locks, or security personnel, and you are injured due to criminal activity, you may have a premises liability claim. This is common in apartment complexes, hotels, and parking garages.
  • Dog Bites: Property owners are responsible for controlling dangerous animals on their property. If you are bitten or attacked by a dog while on someone else’s property, the property owner or occupier may be held liable for your injuries.
  • Swimming Pool Accidents: Property owners with swimming pools are required to ensure the safety of their pool areas by providing fencing, signage, and other safety measures. Drowning and near-drowning incidents often result from a lack of supervision or safety precautions.
  • Falling Objects: In stores, warehouses, or other commercial settings, improperly stored merchandise or equipment can fall and cause severe injuries. Property owners must ensure that items are securely stored to prevent accidents.
  • Elevator and Escalator Accidents: If an elevator or escalator is poorly maintained or defective, passengers can be seriously injured. Property owners and managers are responsible for the maintenance and inspection of these machines to ensure they are safe for public use.

Nevada Premises Liability Law

Nevada premises liability law is designed to hold property owners and occupiers accountable for maintaining safe conditions on their property. Under Nevada law, property owners owe a duty of care to those who enter their premises, depending on the status of the visitor. There are three main categories of visitors:

  • Invitees: Invitees are individuals who are invited onto a property for the benefit of the property owner or occupier, such as customers at a store. Property owners owe the highest duty of care to invitees, meaning they must regularly inspect the premises, repair dangerous conditions, and provide adequate warnings of any known hazards.
  • Licensees: Licensees are individuals who are permitted to enter a property for their own benefit or social reasons, such as a guest at a party. Property owners owe licensees a lesser duty of care, but they are still required to warn of any known dangers that the visitor may not be aware of.
  • Trespassers: Trespassers are individuals who enter a property without permission. Generally, property owners owe no duty of care to trespassers, except in cases where the property owner knows that trespassers frequently enter the property or in situations involving children, such as an “attractive nuisance” like an unfenced swimming pool.

Who is Liable for a Dangerous Condition on the Property?

Determining liability in a premises liability case can be complex. Generally, the property owner or occupier will be held liable if it can be proven that they were negligent in maintaining the property. However, several factors need to be considered:

  1. Duty of Care: The first step in proving liability is establishing that the property owner owed you a duty of care. As discussed earlier, this depends on whether you were an invitee, licensee, or trespasser. Property owners owe the highest duty of care to invitees, meaning they are required to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of the property.
  2. Breach of Duty: Once the duty of care is established, you must prove that the property owner breached this duty. A breach of duty occurs when the property owner fails to act reasonably in maintaining the property. For example, if a store owner knew of a spill on the floor but did not clean it up or provide a warning, this could be considered a breach of duty.
  3. Causation: You must also prove that the property owner’s breach of duty directly caused your injuries. If you slipped on a wet floor and sustained injuries, you would need to show that the hazardous condition was the direct cause of your fall and injuries.
  4. Damages: Finally, you must demonstrate that you suffered actual damages as a result of the dangerous condition. Damages can include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
