What Type of Law Applies to Injuries on Property?
In Nevada, Premises Liability Law Applies to Injuries on Property
When you’re hurt because of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, premises liability law may hold the property owner legally liable for the injuries that occur. Liability depends on state law, and there are significant differences in laws between states.
Basic Principles of Premises Liability Law in Nevada
Basic Principles:
- Duty of Care: A property owner has a duty to keep their property safe for entrants.
- They do not act as an insurer for all accidents on their property.
- The standard is whether the property owner’s actions are unreasonable.
- Nevada does not apply the open and obvious doctrine to negate all liability on the property owner; the property owner must still act reasonably to protect entrants.
To Win a Premises Liability Injury Claim, We Must Prove:
- A dangerous condition existed on the premises.
- The defendant knew or should have known about the hazardous condition.
- An accident occurred due to this dangerous condition.
- Injuries and damages resulted for the victim.
