Unsafe property. Real injuries. Serious accountability.

Unsafe property. Real injuries. Serious accountability.

A fall can change your life in seconds. Fractures, torn ligaments, concussions, and long recoveries are common. Property owners and managers must keep their premises reasonably safe. When hazards are ignored or warnings are missing, victims pay the price. Carma Legal builds clear, evidence driven claims that hold owners, tenants, and vendors responsible in Nevada and North Carolina. We do not wait for justice. We go get it.

How we prove a slip and fall case

Duty and control

We identify who controlled the area and what safety rules applied. Commercial tenants, management companies, and vendors may share responsibility.

Notice of the hazard

We prove the defendant knew or should have known about the danger. Notice can be actual or constructive and is shown with timelines, logs, and patterns. Long standing hazards, poor inspection routines, and prior complaints matter.

Causation

Medical documentation links the fall to the injuries and explains why symptoms persist.

Damages

We calculate the full impact on health, work, and daily life, including future care and long term limitations.

Common hazards and locations

Slip conditions
Spilled liquids, tracked water at entrances, melting ice, grease in kitchens, leaks from coolers or freezers, freshly mopped floors without warnings.

Trip conditions
Loose mats, curled rugs, unsecured cords, raised transitions, broken tiles, potholes, uneven sidewalks, cracked pavement.

Where these cases occur
Grocery and retail stores, restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes, offices, parking areas, sidewalks, warehouses, private homes.

Defenses we are ready to counter

No notice
We use logs, timelines, and video to show the hazard existed long enough that it should have been found and fixed.

Open and obvious
A visible hazard does not excuse a failure to maintain safe conditions or to provide reasonable warnings.

Warning sign defense
A sign helps only if it is timely, visible, and placed correctly. We examine whether the warning was reasonable and whether the condition should have been fixed.

Blame shifting
Arguments about footwear, distractions, or preexisting conditions are addressed with facts, medical proof, and human factors analysis.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have a case if I did not see the hazard?
Possibly. Many hazards are not obvious. The key question is whether the property failed to use reasonable care to prevent or warn about the danger.
A sign does not end the analysis. We evaluate timing, placement, visibility, and whether the condition should have been corrected.
They can be. Liability depends on what the owner knew, weather patterns, and the reasonableness of removal efforts. We build the timeline and evaluate the duty.
Preexisting conditions do not bar recovery. We work with your providers to explain aggravation and new harm.
Most injury matters are contingency based. You pay no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered. All terms are provided in writing.
Deadlines vary by state and case type and can be shorter for claims involving government entities. Contact us quickly so your rights are preserved.
