General Info - Las Vegas Premise Liability

To be protected under premise liability laws, the injured party must have been on the premise lawfully. For example, a premise owner is not responsible for ensuring that his/her property is safe from burglars. Premise liability covers those who have been expressly or implicitly invited on the property. This includes employees, customers, suppliers, tenants, patients, vendors, repair people, utility workers, tour groups, or other lawful patrons, visitors, or occupants.
