Our firm secured a $22,000 settlement for a client who was injured in a slip-and-fall accident at a donut shop after encountering a dangerous condition on the premises. This case demonstrates how small businesses, like any commercial property owner, are legally obligated to maintain safe conditions for their customers.
The incident occurred in February 2022, when our client entered the store as a paying customer. While inside the establishment, she encountered a dangerous condition that had not been properly addressed or marked, causing her to slip and fall. As a result, she suffered painful injuries that required immediate medical attention.
Due to the severity of her condition, our client required extensive follow-up care and was ultimately admitted to a rehabilitation hospital, where she received nearly two weeks of inpatient rehabilitation. Her treatment included physical therapy, pain management, and mobility assistance to help her regain strength, balance, and independence. The fall significantly disrupted her daily life and her ability to function normally.
The business’s insurance company attempted to minimize the claim by citing pre-existing health conditions. Our firm refuted these arguments by carefully reviewing medical records and treatment history, clearly demonstrating that the slip and fall directly aggravated her condition and made extensive rehabilitation medically necessary.
Through focused negotiation and a detailed presentation of the evidence, we secured a $22,000 settlement, compensating our client for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and the disruption to her daily life.
This case highlights the importance of holding retail businesses and property owners accountable for unsafe conditions—and how experienced slip and fall attorneys in Nevada ensure that injured clients do not have to bear the financial burden of preventable accidents.
