Las Vegas Public Property Accident Lawyer

A property owner has a legal responsibility to maintain a property in a safe condition for anyone who enters on the property. If a property owner fails to maintain the condition of the property and a visitor suffers an injury, then the person may have legal claim under the theory of premises liability. There are two main types of premises liability claims: accidents that occur on public property and accidents that occur on private property.

Public property accidents commonly occur at parks, streets, schools, libraries, public buildings, or public transportation. Often times, people may even be injured in a city parking lot.

Establishing Fault in Public Property Accidents

In order to hold a property owner liable for one’s injuries, there are specific legal elements that one must establish. In particular, one must establish that:

• The property owner owed a legal duty to person on the property to maintain the property in a safe condition;
• The property owner breached this duty by failing to maintain the property when he/she knew of a dangerous or defective condition or should have known of the dangerous or defective condition;
• The property owner’s breach resulted in another person suffering injuries; and
• The person suffered damages, such as physical and emotional injuries, property damage, or medical expenses.

Common Public Property Accidents

From parks to streets to public transportation, there are numerous different situations in which someone may suffer an injury on public property. The most common types of accidents on public property include:

• Slip-and-fall accidents on defective roads and streets;
• Defective or dangerous road work or construction;
• Defective stairs or escalators in public places; and
• Wet or slippery floors in public areas, such as in government buildings or other public places.
