Premises Liability / Slip & Fall
Property owners, landlords, and tenants have a legal duty to ensure that their properties are safe and free from hazards that could potentially harm visitors or tenants. When breach this duty, it can lead to serious injuries and damages. If you suffered a severe injury as a result of dangerous or inadequately maintained property, the premise liability attorneys at Sgro & Roger may be able to help pursue financial compensation on your behalf.
In premises liability cases, the key element is proving that the property owner knew or should have reasonably known about the hazard but did not take the necessary steps to mitigate the risk. This includes fixing potentially dangerous conditions and adequately warning those who might encounter them. Our experienced team understands the nuances of these legal requirements and is prepared to help demonstrate the negligence that led to your injury.
Common types of premises liability cases include:
-
Slip and Falls: Injuries resulting from slips, trips, or falls due to unaddressed spills, icy conditions, or other neglected hazards on the property.
-
Inadequate Warning Signs: Failure to post signs warning of potential dangers.
-
Dog Bites: Incidents where a property owner's failure to secure or control their dog leads to an attack or injury.
-
Negligent Security: Failing to provide adequate security measures, leading to personal injury or harm.
-
Inadequate Lighting: Poorly lit areas that contribute to accidents and injuries.
-
Loose Handrails or Guardrails: Unsecured or faulty handrails and guardrails that can lead to falls.
-
Electrocution: Exposed wiring or unsafe electrical systems that pose a risk of electrocution.
-
Defective Sidewalks: Cracked, uneven, or poorly maintained sidewalks that cause trips and falls.

Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the standard of care in their profession, leading to patient harm. This can include errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. These mistakes can have devastating consequences, impacting a patient's quality of life and leading to significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens.
In Nevada, new caps on medical malpractice damages and statutes of limitation will soon take effect. These changes will have significant implications for the potential compensation that can be awarded to medical malpractice victims. At Sgro & Roger, our attorneys are deeply familiar with these changes and are dedicated to advocating for the rights of patients affected by medical negligence.

Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery that could have been prevented, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the patient.
-
Misdiagnoses or Delayed Diagnoses: Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis that leads to a lack of necessary treatment and worsens the patient's condition.
-
Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth that results in injury to the baby or mother, such as cerebral palsy or nerve damage.
-
Medication Mistakes: Prescribing or administering the wrong medication or dosage, leading to adverse effects or death.
