What Are Hazardous or Dangerous Property Conditions?
Hotel and casino property owners or managers can be held liable for unsafe conditions if they knew or should have known about them. They are expected to routinely inspect their properties to identify hazards that could cause preventable accidents and injuries. They may be held accountable for injury damages if they ignore obvious signs of dangerous conditions.
Depending on the circumstances, these property owners may have a duty of care to notify visitors and staff about the conditions, post warning signs, cordon off the area where the condition exists, or remedy the condition, such as repairing broken handrails, inadequate lighting, or hiring adequate professional security personnel.

Who May Be Liable in a Hotel or Casino Injury Claim?
Numerous parties may be liable for your injuries, depending on the circumstances of your accident and injuries.
These can include:
- Hotel or casino management: They are responsible for the overall safety and maintenance of the premises.
- Property owners: They may be liable if they fail to ensure safe conditions for guests.
- Employees: Individual staff members, such as janitors, service staff, or security personnel, may be liable for negligent actions contributing to an injury.
- Maintenance companies: Third-party contractors responsible for upkeep and repair may share liability if their negligence leads to unsafe conditions.
- Food and beverage providers: Suppliers or restaurants on-site can be held accountable for food safety standards and practices.
- Security companies: The security firm may be liable if inadequate security measures lead to crimes against guests.
- Equipment or furnishings manufacturers: Companies that produce defective hotel furniture or appliances can be held responsible for injuries resulting from their products.
Identifying all potentially liable parties is crucial for building a comprehensive claim and maximizing compensation for injury victims.
Fighting Hotel & Casino Insurers
When making an injury claim, you will likely deal with the hotel or casino's insurance company. These insurers have an agenda of their own: to pay out as little as possible against liability claims. They have their own legal teams that work to protect their employer.
These insurers commonly employ tactics to frustrate claimants. They may argue that the dangerous conditions were “open and obvious,” that your negligence caused your injury, or that your injury was caused by something else. They can also allege that you had preexisting medical conditions that caused your injuries.
To counter these, you need an experienced attorney who can aggressively challenge insurer company tactics through meticulous investigation and evidence-based argument. Our firm can support your case using accident reports, witness statements, photographs of the accident site, surveillance video, and more.
What Is the Statute of Limitations in Hotel & Casino Injury Claims?
The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Nevada, including those against hotels and casinos, is generally two years from the date of the injury.
However, it's crucial to act swiftly, as evidence can fade, and timelines can vary depending on specific circumstances. For instance, surveillance video in hotels and casinos is not kept long. Promptly engaging an attorney is essential to gathering evidence to support your claim.
