What are common store accidents in Las Vegas?
- Slip and fall accidents: this occurs when liquid is left on the floor for too long, and it is not cleaned by an employee. Employers must maintain a cleaning schedule to make sure that all the floors are properly maintained and cleaned every couple hours. Employees must also inspect for any liquids on the floor to prevent any accidents.
- Trip and fall accidents: are more likely to occur in stores where objects have been left on the floor. It is very common for children to drop objects on the floor in stores, which could be a hazard for other visitors.
- Assault: in certain cases, a store could be held responsible for any criminal assault that occurs on their property. For example, if the store hired negligent security guards, and a third-party assaulted you, not only do you have a claim against that third-party, but the store as well.
- Improper lighting: improper lighting could lead to assault, and it is the store’s responsibility to make sure that the property is well-lit.
- Improperly maintained outdoor areas: in certain cities, stores are also responsible for the outside area that leads up to the entrance, such as the sidewalk. If you have been injured on a sidewalk that has not been maintained, then you could also file a lawsuit against the retail store owner.
- Falling objects: oftentimes, stores, such as grocery stores, have shelved their excess products on the higher shelves. These objects must be properly fastened, or it may fall on customers. If a customer has been injured by a falling object, they have the right to hold the property owner responsible.
- Improperly maintained escalators and elevators: almost every store located on the Las Vegas strip has an escalator or an elevator that takes you to and from the store. These escalators and elevators must be constantly maintained. If you fail to properly maintain the escalators, and you are a business owner, you will be held responsible for any future accidents.

- The first thing you should do is make sure that your health is taken care of. This means that if you need immediate medical assistance, do not be afraid to call 911. Often, people are afraid to call 911 simply because of the costs that they could incur. You have the right to get your emergency bills compensated for in a lawsuit against the negligent party. This should not be of concern when calling for emergency responders.
- Take pictures of what caused the accident, such as the objects on the floor or the liquid on the floor.

How much compensation could I receive for my store injuries?
We tell our clients that the compensation you receive differs depending on the circumstances of your accident. The factors that attorneys look at when determining the compensation you could receive are:
- The injuries that you have suffered. If you have suffered permanent lifelong injuries that will affect your future income, then you most likely will be able to receive more in compensation.
- Your age is also a determining factor when filing the lawsuit. Usually, younger adults are more likely to get compensated for any injuries they have suffered compared to older adults since younger adults have a lifetime of income that they are to receive.
