Bigger. Faster. Settlements.
Stores and casinos count on injured people being too embarrassed to fight. Kyle recovered $2.5 million in a grocery store fall by doing the opposite. Your case gets his undivided attention and a relentless push, which causes your settlement to come back bigger, and faster.
A fall is not clumsiness. It is a property failure.
Property owners and their insurers have trained the public to treat falls as embarrassing accidents. They are not. A spill left on a floor, a broken stair, missing handrails, bad lighting in a garage: these are failures by businesses that profit from your presence and owe you a safe premises.
Kyle recovered $2.5 million for a client injured in a grocery store fall, and the method is the point: incident reports, sweep logs, surveillance video, and maintenance records that prove the store knew, or should have known, about the hazard. Notice is the battleground in these cases, and the evidence for it is in the defendant's hands until a lawyer demands it.
A billboard firm settles fall cases fast and cheap because they are work. Kyle works them. With his undivided attention, your case never leaves his hands, and the property's insurer learns this one will not be discounted.
What to do after a fall.
Fall cases are won and lost in the first hours. Here is what protects yours.
Report it before you leave
Insist on an incident report and get a copy or photo of it. An unreported fall becomes a he-said-she-said the insurer will exploit.
Photograph the hazard
The spill, the broken step, the lighting, the lack of warning signs. Conditions get cleaned up fast once you leave.
Get names
Witnesses, the manager on duty, the employee who responded. Independent accounts defeat the inevitable they-made-it-up defense.
See a doctor and call Kyle
Falls cause real injuries, especially to backs, hips, and heads. Document treatment immediately, then let Kyle demand the surveillance footage before it is overwritten.
Premises cases Kyle handles.
Grocery & Retail Falls
Spills, leaking coolers, and stocking debris. Kyle's $2.5 million grocery store result shows what these cases are worth when fully built.
Casino & Hotel Falls
Resort floors, pool decks, and parking garages, with the surveillance coverage to prove exactly what happened, if it is preserved.
Stairs, Rails & Walkways
Code violations like broken steps, missing handrails, and uneven walking surfaces are powerful evidence of negligence.
Restaurants & Bars
Slick floors, dim lighting, and crowded service paths produce constant falls the insurers quietly settle low.
Apartment & HOA Premises
Landlords owe tenants and guests safe common areas, from staircases to parking lots.
Workplace Premises Injuries
Falls at someone else's business while working can involve both a premises claim and workers' compensation, and Kyle handles both.
What the law gives you here.
A few Nevada rules decide whether and how much you can recover. Here is what matters most in these cases.
Two years to file
Nevada generally allows two years from the fall, but surveillance video is often overwritten within days or weeks. The preservation demand cannot wait.
Notice is the battleground
The owner is liable if it created the hazard or knew or should have known about it. Sweep logs, inspection records, and video establish what the store actually knew.
Comparative fault games
Insurers argue you should have watched where you were going. Nevada law still lets you recover if you are not more at fault than the property owner.
Open and obvious is not absolute
Owners love claiming a hazard was obvious. Nevada law does not let them off that easily, especially where the business should expect distracted customers.
This is general information about Nevada law, not legal advice, and the rules have exceptions. Kyle will tell you exactly how they apply to your case.
Two things a billboard cannot buy.
What full value looks like.
Insurers pay more when they know your lawyer will take the case all the way. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome, but they show what relentless preparation can do.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case turns on its own facts.
What clients say.
I will be recommending Kyle to all my family and friends. He worked so hard to get me the care and medical attention I needed! I appreciate everything he and his team did for my case.
From beginning to end, The Cottner Firm & Kyle have provided me with outstanding experience relative to a bad situation. They’ve shown consistent consideration & it is very appreciated!
Very knowledgeable and articulate. Answered phone calls promptly. Fast and efficient! Absolutely recommend and will recommend to all my family and friends.
What people ask before they call.
Possibly, but report it now and call Kyle immediately. Late-reported falls are harder, not hopeless, especially if there were witnesses or the hazard was documented some other way.
No. That is the standard comparative fault play. Nevada law allows recovery as long as you are not more at fault than the owner, and businesses must expect that real customers get distracted.
Surveillance video, the incident report, sweep and inspection logs, prior complaints about the same hazard, and witness accounts. Most of it is in the property owner's possession until a lawyer demands it.
Often only days to weeks before it is overwritten. This is the single most time-sensitive piece of a fall case, and the reason to call before the footage cycle ends.
Falls cause serious injuries, particularly to the spine, hips, and head. Value depends on your treatment, future care, lost income, and the strength of the notice evidence. The first offer is built on the hope you will not fight.
Nothing up front, and no fee at all unless he recovers for you.
