What do I need to prove in a lawsuit for money damages?

Not every victim of a slip and fall accident will have the right to collect damages through a premises liability lawsuit. You must prove certain elements to be awarded compensation for your injuries in a Nevada court. Most importantly, you must prove the owner of the property where the accident occurred was primarily negligent in allowing a dangerous condition to develop.

Proving the property owner was negligent requires you to use evidence that shows:

• There was an unsafe condition on the property
• The owner of the property knew or should have known about the unsafe condition
• The property owner failed to either fix the unsafe condition or warn visitors of its existence
• The unsafe condition caused your injuries
