Slip and Fall Attorney in Las Vegas

If you slip and fall at a business in Las Vegas, particularly if that business is a casino, you will likely receive a settlement offer from a lawyer or an insurance company relatively quickly. Sometimes, you might receive the offer before you have even received medical attention. Regardless, you should speak to an experienced Morgan and Morgan attorney before making any decisions.

The first thing we will do is investigate your case. We want as much evidence as possible so we can determine how much compensation you are eligible for. At the same time, you need to receive an evaluation and treatment from a high-quality doctor. An attorney can only accurately evaluate how much money you deserve after a doctor has provided a diagnosis and treatment plan for your injuries.

Once we have evidence from the accident scene and medical information in hand, we will start negotiations with the other party. Our attorneys will never accept a lowball offer. We will insist that the other party (or, more likely, its insurance company) pays you the value of compensation that you deserve for your injuries.

If the other party is unwilling to negotiate a fair settlement for your injuries, we will file a lawsuit to get you the compensation you deserve. A lawsuit will likely take longer than a settlement would, but it is also likely to get you more money when it ends.

The most important thing you need to do after getting injured from a slip and fall accident is to get medical attention. Your health is the highest priority, and your injury could be much worse than you realize. Until you have received a medical evaluation and gotten treatment, do not speak to anyone about the accident other than your doctor.

Once you are safely in the hands of a doctor, you should contact slip and fall attorneys in Las Vegas from Morgan & Morgan. Our attorneys can guide you through the remainder of the process and reduce your stress level while doing so.

Finally, you should not speak to anyone about the accident (other than your doctor) without first consulting with your lawyer. Even conversations with friends and family could harm your case if you say the wrong thing, and any conversation with an insurance agent or a lawyer for the other party could be disastrous.

Typically, whoever owns the premises you are in when you slip and fall is liable for the accident. This is particularly true if the owner of the premises caused the danger that resulted in your fall or was aware of the danger and didn’t warn you. Owners are permitted a reasonable amount of time to correct dangers, but they are required to provide warnings as soon as possible.

Yes, you can. If an injury from a slip and fall results in any type of extra expense or loss of income, you are eligible for compensation for those losses. Your slip and fall attorneys in Las Vegas will help you determine what compensation you are owed.

Your attorney will investigate your accident, but you can make this investigation easier if you document the accident scene. Collect names and contact information for any witnesses or anyone who was involved in the accident. Also, take pictures of where you were injured and any injuries you suffered. Remember, your health takes priority, and you should only start documenting once you are certain that it is safe to move around.

A few of the more common injuries in a slip and fall accident are:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Head injuries or brain trauma
• Lacerations, particularly if you fall into some glass
• Bruises
• Broken bones
• Torn or strained muscles

Many of these injuries can be a lot worse than you realize when they first happen. This is why you should always seek medical attention, even if you believe an injury is minor.

Never sign anything until you have spoken with your attorney. A representative of a casino might try to claim that you have to sign something before you can leave or before they can get you in touch with their insurance company. Don’t believe that and refuse to sign. If they continue to pressure you, call a lawyer immediately and tell them that they are only to communicate with you through your lawyer from that point on.

Typically, you will get all of your money shortly after you receive your last bill or miss your last paycheck. However, your attorney should be able to negotiate for you to start receiving money before that. A negotiated settlement usually takes a few weeks to start paying compensation. If the case goes to trial, you probably won’t get money for a few years.

Depending on your point of view, a slip and fall attorney from our lawsuit is completely free. For personal injury cases, we take all of our cases on contingency. This means that we only get paid if we can get you money for your case.

Furthermore, our payment is always a percentage of the money that we get for you. Thus, if we win you money, you will always end up with more money in your pocket than before we took the case. Technically you are paying us but only out of money that you didn’t previously have.

If you have suffered a severe injury from a slip and fall accident while at a premise that you don’t own, you may be eligible for compensation from the owner. Contact Morgan & Morgan immediately to learn more about your options and to schedule a free case evaluation with an experienced attorney.
