Nevada Hotels Can Be A Hotbed For Injury
Las Vegas boasts the most hotel rooms of any city in the United States, numbering well over 100,000. Dim lighting, the festive atmosphere, and the millions of visitors who pour into the city each year increase the likelihood of injury in the country’s busiest hotel scene. Our team assists individuals who have suffered an injury because of hotel ownership or staff negligence.
What Happens If An Injury Affects Your Work?
A serious physical injury can keep you away from your job. If you suffer an injury while working, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. However, workers’ compensation only covers a portion of your lost wages and medical bills.
We can help you look for additional sources of financial recovery. If an outside party caused your workplace accident, we can file a Nevada personal injury lawsuit alongside your workers’ compensation case. This third-party claim allows you to seek complete compensation for your financial losses.
What Can You Recover From An Injury Claim In Las Vegas?
Nevada law allows you to seek compensation for damages from accident-related expenses such as:
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
For older family members or relatives with mental disabilities, Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) § 41.1395 allows you to seek double damages and attorney fees if a vulnerable person suffers from reckless abuse or neglect.
