Victim of a Slip-and-Fall? Attorney Sam Ryan Heidari Explains How to Ensure You Have a Solid Case

Premises liability law holds property owners responsible for injuries caused by unsafe or dangerous conditions on their property.

Las Vegas, Nevada – /News Reported by LaGuardia Media and Public Relations/ – When it comes to proving a slip-and-fall claim, there are certain criteria that must be met before the case can even be considered. Sam Ryan Heidari and Heidari Law Group have set out to educate the public on what needs to be demonstrated in order to win a slip-and-fall case.

“Slip-and-Fall cases usually fall under premises liability law”, explains Attorney Sam Ryan Heidari. Premises liability law holds property owners responsible for injuries caused by unsafe or dangerous conditions on their property, requiring them to maintain a safe environment for lawful visitors.

There are 4 conditions which need to be satisfied in order to successfully litigate a slip-and-fall claim: 1) There existed hazardous conditions on the property, 2) The property owners/employees knew about, or should have known about the hazardous conditions and did not, 3) No (reasonable) steps were taken by the property owner to fix the hazard, or to warn others of the existence of the hazard, 4) Hazardous conditions on the property directly caused injury and tangible losses as a result.

Photographs, medical records, incident reports, witness statements, and surveillance footage all serve as good evidence to support your claim. Also, keeping a financial record of any wages lost, due to injuries stemming from the hazardous conditions, will help your case when seeking damages.

There are certain instances when premises liability law doesn’t apply. For instance, if someone is trespassing or committing a crime on the property and is injured, “duty of care”, or the property owner's duty to maintain a reasonably safe environment and warn of hidden dangers is voided. Also, if one’s actions have been found to contribute to one’s own injuries, this can reduce the liability on the property owners part. To navigate the legal process of proving negligence (or disproving contributory negligence), consulting an experienced personal injury attorney is of the utmost importance.
