Every wrongful death case is different, meaning that the total settlement amount in a Las Vegas case will vary due to the factors contributing to the case. Knowing how these cases work can help you better figure out how much wrongful death settlements may be and how much you might be able to recover in your case.
If you have a loved one who has passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada, you may be wondering about the difference between a wrongful death vs. survival action. There is one major difference between the two types of claims. Wrongful death claims are filed for the family members of the deceased person. Survival actions are claims that the deceased person would have been able to bring had she or he survived. Aside from this, there are differences in how the compensation is paid out, the types of damages that are awarded, and the statute of limitations for each type of claim.
Premises liability claims arise from injuries or death caused by hazardous or dangerous conditions on a property. If you are the victim of a casino injury, you may consider filing a premises liability lawsuit. The most common reason for filing a premises liability lawsuit is slip and fall accidents, but casinos present other opportunities for accidents and injuries to arise. These accidents can be food poisoning, broken slot machine chairs, criminal activity, contracting illnesses, or hazards from malfunctioning equipment.
In Nevada, foreseeability in premises liability claims can have an expansive interpretation. Generally, casinos must take reasonable precautions in food preparation and storage to prevent food poisoning. They should not serve alcohol in casinos, dining areas, or nightclubs to already severely intoxicated persons. Fixtures and furniture should be kept in good repair. Chairs at gaming tables, pubs, dining areas, showrooms, or bathrooms should be safe. Spills, or other tripping or falling hazards, should be cleared away promptly.
