“Hi, my name is Dina Martinez. My lawyer’s name is Ramzy Ladah. He is the best lawyer I know. I had another lawyer before I got in this car accident but my lawyer didn’t work the way I wanted. I was so scared because of these big, old companies with their big lawyers; you’re scared because you don’t know what the best way of dealing with them is. Ramzy Ladah does exactly what I want. The way he fights in court for me was really good. It was like my family member fighting for a family member. It wasn’t like a lawyer fighting for just somebody, like other lawyers do. I recommend Ramzy Ladah because he does a really, really good job. With these big old companies you have to deal with when you have a car accident, it’s kind of impossible for a regular, normal person. So you need a lawyer, that’s Ramzy Ladah. We won and we got a lot of money and I’m so happy about it.” – Dina Martinez

Common Ankle Injuries from Las Vegas Accidents

Ankle injuries range widely in severity, and the type of injury you suffered directly affects the value of your claim. Here are the most common injuries we handle.

Sprains and Torn Ligaments

A sprained ankle happens when the ligaments that connect your ankle bones stretch or tear. Grade 3 sprains involve a complete ligament tear and often cause long-term instability that requires surgery to fix.

Fractures and Surgical Fixation

A broken ankle often involves the malleolus, talus, or calcaneus bones. Severe breaks require a procedure called open reduction internal fixation, where surgeons insert metal plates and screws to hold the bone together.

Achilles Tendon Rupture

Your Achilles tendon connects your calf muscle to your heel bone and is essential for walking. A full rupture makes weight-bearing impossible and typically requires surgery followed by six to twelve months of physical therapy.

Lisfranc and Midfoot Injuries

Lisfranc injuries affect the bones and ligaments in the middle of your foot and are frequently missed in emergency rooms. An MRI is often needed to diagnose them correctly, and delayed treatment makes recovery significantly harder.

Chronic Instability and Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Serious ankle trauma can cause arthritis to develop years after the original injury. We document these long-term complications to make sure your compensation covers future medical care, not just your current bills.

What Compensation Can You Recover for an Ankle Injury?

Nevada law allows you to recover money for both your financial losses and the physical impact of your injury. We fight to maximize every category of damages available to you.

• Medical Expenses: Emergency visits, imaging, surgery, hardware removal, and ongoing physical therapy.
• Lost Wages: Income lost while you were off work, plus reduced earning capacity if your injury limits your job options going forward.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, disrupted sleep, and the daily frustration of limited mobility.
• Out of Pocket Costs: Crutches, braces, transportation to appointments, and any in home assistance you needed.
• Punitive Damages: Additional money available when the at fault party acted with extreme recklessness or disregard for your safety.

The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injury and the treatment required. Here is a general look at how those factors affect case value in Nevada.

Injury Type	Treatment Required	Typical Value Range
Severe Ankle Sprain	Physical therapy, bracing	$15,000 to $50,000
Simple Fracture	Casting, walking boot	$40,000 to $100,000
Complex Fracture	Surgery, metal hardware	$100,000 to $300,000+
Achilles Tendon Rupture	Surgery, extended rehab	$150,000 to $400,000+

These are general ranges based on Nevada outcomes. Every case is different, which is why a free case evaluation is the best way to understand what your specific claim is worth.

We have secured a $1 million policy-limits settlement for a client who fractured her ankle after slipping on carpet at a Las Vegas roller skating rink, and a separate $1 million settlement for a client whose ankle fracture was caused by a defective carpet seam. In both cases, the property owner destroyed the carpet after we filed suit, and we won spoliation sanctions for the destruction of evidence.

Who Is Liable for Your Ankle Injury in Las Vegas?

In Nevada, any person or company whose negligence caused your injury can be held financially responsible. More than one party can share liability, which is why we investigate every angle of your case.

• Property Owners and Managers: Responsible for wet floors, broken stairs, and uneven surfaces on their premises.
• Casinos, Hotels, and Retailers: Required by law to keep their floors safe and respond quickly to spills or hazards.
• Landlords and Apartment Complexes: Liable for dangerous walkways, broken steps, and neglected common areas.
• Drivers and Employers: Responsible when a car accident or delivery vehicle collision causes your ankle injury.
• Contractors and Manufacturers: Accountable for defective flooring installations or unsafe construction conditions.

Identifying every liable party matters because it directly increases the pool of insurance coverage available to pay your claim.

What to Do After an Ankle Injury in Las Vegas

The actions you take in the first 48 hours protect your health and your legal rights. Follow these steps to give your case the strongest possible foundation.

Step 1: Get Medical Care Immediately

See a doctor right away, even if the pain feels manageable. A medical record that connects your ankle injury to the specific incident is one of the most important pieces of evidence in your case.

Step 2: Report the Incident and Get a Copy

Tell casino security, store management, or the police what happened and ask them to create a written report. Get a copy of that report before you leave the scene.

Step 3: Photograph Everything

Take pictures of the hazard from multiple angles before anyone cleans it up. Also photograph your footwear, the surrounding area, and any visible swelling or bruising on your ankle.

Step 4: Collect Witness Information

Write down the names and phone numbers of anyone who saw the accident happen. A single independent witness can make a significant difference in how an insurance company responds to your claim.

Step 5: Do Not Give a Recorded Statement

Insurance adjusters will call you quickly and ask to record your account of what happened. Do not agree to this before speaking with an attorney, as these recordings are often used to reduce or deny your claim.

Step 6: Call Ladah Injury & Car Accident Lawyers Las Vegas

We send formal legal preservation notices the same day you call us. This stops property owners and businesses from destroying the video footage that proves your case.

How We Build and Prove Your Ankle Injury Claim

Ankle injury cases require more than a stack of medical records. We build the kind of evidence file that insurance companies cannot dismiss.

Our attorneys worked on the insurance defense side before joining the plaintiff’s bar. We know exactly what adjusters look for and what they try to use against injured clients. That insider knowledge shapes how we prepare your case from day one.

We work with orthopedic specialists to get proper impairment ratings and causation reports. We also bring in life care planners to calculate the real cost of your future treatment needs, not just what you have spent so far.

When negotiations stall, we take cases to trial. Insurance carriers know Ladah Injury & Car Accident Lawyers Las Vegas will not walk away from a fair fight, and that changes how they negotiate.

In our experience, insurance companies often argue that a client’s footwear, not the hazard, caused the fall. That argument rarely holds up once we document the actual condition of the floor or stairs and show that the property owner had a legal duty to fix it regardless of what the client was wearing.

How Nevada Law Affects Your Ankle Injury Claim

Comparative Fault and the 51 Percent Bar

Nevada uses a system called comparative fault, which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of blame for the accident. If you are found 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover any money at all, which is why insurance companies aggressively try to shift blame onto you.

Nevada’s Two Year Deadline to File

The statute of limitations is the legal deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit. In Nevada, you have two years from the date of your injury to file, and missing that deadline means permanently losing your right to compensation.

Claims Against Casinos and Large Corporations

Las Vegas casinos and large retail chains have legal teams that begin protecting their interests the moment an incident is reported. Acting quickly preserves the video footage, maintenance logs, and inspection records that prove they knew about the hazard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Sue Someone for a Sprained Ankle in Nevada?

Yes, you can file a personal injury claim for a sprained ankle if another person or business caused the hazard that hurt you and failed to fix it.

Does My Footwear Affect My Ankle Injury Claim?

Insurance companies often argue that your shoes contributed to the fall, but a property owner’s legal duty to maintain safe premises exists regardless of what you were wearing.

What If I Had a Previous Ankle Injury Before the Accident?

You can still recover compensation for any new damage or worsening of your prior condition, which we prove using updated imaging and medical records.

Because surveillance footage is often retained only for a limited time, we send preservation demands the same day you hire us.
