Slip and Fall accidents should always be taken seriously. Even if the fall at first appears to be minor, injuries can turn up after the initial impact has taken place. The kind of injuries sustained after a slip and fall accident depends a lot on the fitness and age of the person involved in the accident, but it’s not unusual to sustain injuries as severe as :
Proving that a dangerous condition was the cause of your slip and fall accident requires hiring an experienced slip and fall attorney who can legally assign the cause of your accident as the result of the negligence of someone else. Finding fault with someone else means that their negligence or failure to provide a safe, risk-free environment unintentionally caused you harm.
In Las Vegas, a slip and fall accident caused by a negligent property owner can be proven by either showing the property owner clearly should have reasoned on their own prior to anyone getting hurt that there was a unsafe condition, or by showing the property owner’s lack of preventive care by not correcting or fixing a dangerous condition they already knew about before your accident occurred.
It is always important for one to be aware of their surroundings. Dangerous conditions are potentially around every corner.

A missing handrail where there ought to be one is another hazard, especially in casinos and restaurants with restrooms located on a different floor. Storefronts that do not keep their sidewalks and walkways free from garbage accumulations and delivery boxes can make it difficult for the public to navigate around the untidiness and can lead to a passerby stumbling and falling. These are just a few of the hazardous situations that can lead to debilitating injuries. The casino or store proprietor or home owner can be liable for your injuries.
