Las Vegas Premises Liability

Attorneys Protecting the Injured

If you've been injured on someone else’s property—whether a private residence, retail store, or hotel—you may have a legal right to compensation. At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we represent clients across Las Vegas and Southern Nevada in complex premises liability cases, helping them recover damages for unsafe conditions that property owners failed to address.

Under Nevada law, property owners, landlords, business operators, and hotel proprietors have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for guests, patrons, tenants, and visitors. When they fail to do so and an injury occurs, our legal team is ready to step in, investigate, and pursue full compensation for your losses.

When Are Property Owners Liable in Nevada?

According to Nevada premises liability law, owners and occupiers of property are legally responsible for:

Maintaining safe conditions on their property
Promptly repairing known hazards
Posting warnings for temporary dangers, like spills or construction
Preventing foreseeable injuries to guests or patrons

When this duty is breached and someone is injured, the victim may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical expenses and hospital bills
Physical or occupational therapy
Pain and suffering
Lost wages or diminished earning capacity
Punitive damages, in cases of gross negligence or recklessness

At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we build strong cases that hold negligent property owners accountable.

Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle

Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common types of premises liability cases in Las Vegas. These injuries often result from:

Wet or slippery floors
Uneven pavement or torn carpeting
Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways
Neglected spills in grocery or retail stores

If you were hurt due to a hazardous condition on someone’s property, you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim for compensation.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Property owners have a duty to control dangerous animals on their premises. If you were bitten or attacked by a dog—especially one known to be aggressive—you may be entitled to compensation from the dog owner or their homeowners’ or renters’ insurance. We have successfully represented victims injured in residences, apartment complexes, and condo communities.

Hotel and Casino Injuries

In high-traffic locations like Las Vegas hotels, casinos, and resorts, guests are often injured due to negligent security, poorly maintained property, or unsafe common areas. Nevada’s Humphries v. New York, New York decision makes clear that property owners can be liable for foreseeable wrongful acts—even if they didn’t specifically know an injury would occur.

If a hotel, inn, or resort failed to provide adequate safety precautions, we can hold them accountable.

Retail and Big Box Store Injuries

We also represent individuals injured in major retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, and other big box department stores. These stores have a duty to routinely inspect, clean, and maintain their premises to protect customers. Failing to do so can lead to legal liability for any resulting injuries.

Who Is Liable in a Premises Liability Case?

Determining liability can be complex. Depending on the circumstances, the responsible party may be:

A private homeowner
A business owner or operator
A property management company
A hotel or resort operator
A retail corporation

In many cases, the insurance company representing the property owner will try to deny responsibility or minimize your claim. At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we push back hard against those tactics—presenting detailed evidence, witness accounts, and legal arguments that prove fault and maximize your recovery.

What To Do After a Premises Liability Injury

If you’re injured on someone else’s property in Las Vegas or the surrounding area, it’s critical to protect your claim by:

Seeking medical attention immediately
Taking photos of the hazard, your injuries, and the location
Reporting the incident to the property owner or store manager
Collecting witness contact information
Keeping copies of any medical records, correspondence, or incident reports
Contacting a Las Vegas premises liability attorney as soon as possible

Premises liability claims in Nevada are subject to a two-year statute of limitations—so do not delay.
