What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is a legal concept. It comes into play in certain personal injury cases involving injury caused by an unsafe or defective condition on someone else’s property. Premises liability cases are based on negligence. To recover compensation, you must prove that the property owner was negligent, or failed to use reasonable care in connection with ownership or maintenance of the property. To prove negligence, you must show that the property owner knew, or should have reasonably known, about the unsafe condition on the premises and failed to take the steps necessary to remedy the problem.

What Are the Elements of a Premises Liability Claim in Nevada?

The owner is not necessarily responsible for every case in which a person is injured on someone else’s property. According to the Nevada Revised Statutes, to have a premises liability claim in Nevada, the following elements must exist in the case:

• The injured party (plaintiff) had permission from the property owner to be on the premises.
• A hazardous condition existed on the property.
• The property owner caused, knew about, or should have reasonably known about the dangerous condition.
• The plaintiff was injured because of the hazardous condition.
