Defective premises account for one of the leading causes of personal injury in Nevada. Victims of defective or negligently maintained premises may suffer serious personal injuries or even death. The classification of defective premises encompasses a wide range of possible conditions. In all cases, someone is injured on the property of another person, in which this other person is at fault for the injury. Property owners have a responsibility to properly maintain their premises. If they fail to do so, they may be liable for injuries incurred, especially if the victim is someone who was invited onto the property.

While there are many instances in which a property owner is liable for injuries sustained, a few common instances include poor lighting, inadequate security, defective construction of a building, hazardous materials, poorly maintained property and other defective conditions that may be the cause of injuries. The standard for premises liability usually relies on the property owner having knowledge of and intentional disregard for a potentially dangerous condition. For instance, a man made accumulation of ice in a certain section of a property may qualify as a defective premise. Additionally, a structure that is not in conformity with the Nevada Building Code and other state regulations could lead to injury or death for which the property owner is liable.
