Slip-and-fall accidents are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries in the United States. They are a particular danger to adults over the age of 65, often leading to serious injuries, increased risk of future falls, and a loss of independence.
Some fall injuries can be prevented with regular exercise and non-slip footwear, but others are the direct result of unsafe conditions.

If the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex.
Your attorney will gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.
The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime.
Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to several years. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.
When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive fair compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

I was in an accident 3 years ago and had a very bad experience with the attorney back then I was in another accident last year and called the advocates mark and his team were amazing changed my view on accident attorneys they kept I'm touch with me every step of the way gave me authority on choices for myself I didn't have to go with what they said I could go against it and they still would have worked with me the same I had choices this time around I would always go with Mark I have even sent friends his way just cause I appreciate all the help and support the whole way threw.
My experience with the advocates was a good one. After being hit by a car on my motorcycle they helped me with a settlement with the insurance company to get the hospital bills paid. They were extremely helpful. They always answered any questions I had with in a day. Every email I sent was always responded to. If you unfortunately has to go through a injury by another person I would recommend them in helping you resolve any debt you have because if that injury. The Advocates were great to work with and help me get this unfortunate event behind me.
Steve and his crew at The Advocates were nothing short for amazing. They took my case after I was rear-ended resulting in neck surgery. Steve and company made sure all of the was taken care of and that I got the maximum compensation possible. I definitely recommend The Advocates

A fall can happen just about anywhere, at any time. However, certain circumstances may increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls:
Depending on several factors, slip-and-fall injuries can range from mild to life-threatening. Some common injuries resulting from falls include:
If you’ve been injured in a premises liability case, you will need to prove that the property owner was responsible for your injuries and damages.
Personal injury cases in Nevada require establishing the following elements of negligence:
Property owners are typically not responsible for injuries sustained by trespassers or for injuries not caused by dangerous conditions on their property.
If you are not sure whether you have a valid personal injury claim, contact a slip-and-fall accident lawyer with The Advocates for a free initial consultation.
Your slip-and-fall case is subject to a time limit, known as the statute of limitations. In most personal injury cases, from the moment the accident occurs, the clock begins to run.
In Nevada, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years. There are factors that may shorten or lengthen this time frame, so it’s important to contact an attorney right away.
An accident attorney with The Advocates can help you understand your legal rights and determine how long you have to file your personal injury lawsuit. Call us today to get in touch with a lawyer and get started on your case.
Whether or not your slip-and-fall claim is covered by a property owner’s or other entity’s insurance policy depends on the nature of your accident, where the accident occurred, and the injuries you sustained.
For example, if you fell in a business such as a casino, shopping mall, or grocery store, the business owner’s insurance policy may cover your injuries. Similarly, a fall that occurred on private property may be covered by homeowner’s or renter’s insurance.
Fall injuries that happen on public property, like a city park, may be covered through the city’s insurance.
The best way to know whether you have a valid premises liability claim is to speak with an experienced Las Vegas slip-and-fall attorney. They will listen to your story and help you understand who may be liable.
