Legal Elements of Premises Liability
Do You Have a Premises Liability Case?
Duty:
The owner/manager owed you a duty to keep the property reasonably safe.
Notice & Breach:
They created, knew, or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn in time (e.g., no wet‑floor barrier, ).
Causation:
The hazard caused your injury.
Damages:
You suffered losses (medical bills, lost income, pain, disability, etc.).
Open and Obvious Hazards
In Nevada, even hazards that seem “open and obvious” do not automatically defeat your claim—especially when distractions, crowding, design choices, or operations make the risk unreasonable. And under Nevada’s modified comparative negligence, you can still recover if you’re 50% or less at fault; your recovery is reduced by your share of fault.

What Makes Casino & Resort Cases Different?
Casinos look safe but aren’t designed for safety—they’re designed for shine, speed, and crowds. That changes how these cases are won.
Design does not equal safety.
Polished stone + constant drink service = high slip risk. Your move: Photograph the floor surface, spill, and your shoes; note missing mats/cones.
Evidence evaporates fast
Crews clean quickly and CCTV can cycle. Your move: Report it immediately, ask a manager to preserve video, note camera locations, and record the time.
Crowds create foreseeability.
Choke points at escalators, queues, and entrances amplify risk. Your move: Capture crowd level and traffic flow; get witness names and photos of the area.
Many hands, blurred responsibility
Owner, operator, housekeeping vendor, security contractor—all separate. Your move: Ask for an incident report, and write down staff names/badge numbers and the vendor company (uniforms/logos).
Lighting is part of the hazard
Dim, theatrical lighting hides defects. Your move: Take photos/video in the same lighting; note burned-out fixtures or dark zones.
What we do right away:
Send preservation letters, demand sweep logs, staffing and maintenance records, secure video, and document slip resistance/lighting—before the story changes.
Insurance Companies are Not Always Your Friend
Insurance companies, in their role of assessing fault in a premises liability case, do consider various factors such as police reports, witness statements, behaviors, and environmental conditions.
However, it’s essential to remember that these companies are businesses with a primary goal of profitability. This means they have a vested interest in minimizing payouts on claims. Such an approach can lead to an assessment of fault that is skewed in their favor, potentially reducing the compensation victims might rightfully claim.
