Hurt in a fall at Fashion Show Mall?

Jack’s Got Your Back
Las Vegas Fashion Show Mall Slip & Fall Accident Lawyers
Was it the mall? The store? Both?
This confusion is exactly what makes mall slip and fall cases different from other premises liability claims. Fashion Show Mall has over 250 stores and restaurants spread across 1.9 million square feet. When you fall in a corridor, near a store entrance, in the food court, or on an escalator, figuring out who owes you compensation isn’t straightforward.
Here’s what you need to know: where you fell is the first clue to who you sue, not the answer. Common areas (corridors, escalators, food court, restrooms, parking garage) are usually the mall owner’s responsibility and inside a store is usually the tenant’s, but a commercial lease can move those obligations either way, and an owner that keeps control of a leased space can still answer for what happens there. Near a store entrance or threshold? Potentially both. We read the lease rather than the floor plan.
With 40+ years as a personal injury attorney, Jack Bernstein understands how to navigate multi-party mall injury claims and cut through the finger-pointing that delays compensation.

What to do right now (before evidence disappears)
Mall security footage is your most critical evidence, and it typically overwrites every 30-90 days. Without a formal preservation request from an attorney, the cameras that captured your fall, the hazard, and how long it existed will be permanently deleted.
Take these steps immediately:
Nevada gives you two years to file under NRS 11.190, but evidence disappears within weeks.
Who is liable: the mall or the store?
This is the central question in any mall slip and fall case, and it depends entirely on where your fall occurred.
Common areas = mall owner (brookfield properties)
- Corridors and walkways
- Escalators and elevators
- Food court seating areas
- Restrooms
- Entrances and exits
- Parking garage
Inside a store = store tenant
- Anywhere past the store’s threshold
- The store controls that space and is responsible for maintaining it
Near store entrances = potentially both
- If water tracked in from outside affects the area near a store entrance
- If a store’s merchandise or display creates a hazard in the corridor
- If a spill from the food court spreads toward store entrances
Why this matters: You don’t want to sue only the mall when the store was responsible, or vice versa. And when both share responsibility, you need to pursue both to maximize recovery.
Do I have a case against Fashion Show mall?
Under Nevada premises liability law, property owners owe customers a duty of reasonable care for the risks on their property (Foster v. Costco Wholesale Corp., 128 Nev. 773 (2012)). To prove negligence, four elements must be established:
Strong case indicators: Wet floor with no warning signs, hazard in high-traffic area (food court, main corridors), spill that existed for extended time (witnesses saw it before you fell), escalator malfunction with no “out of service” signage.
When cases are harder (but not impossible): You ignored a clearly posted wet floor sign, the hazard was created moments before by another customer, or you were in a restricted area. Even then, Nevada’s comparative negligence law (NRS 41.141) allows recovery as long as your negligence was not greater than the negligence of the defendant, or the combined negligence of the defendants you are suing, with your award reduced in proportion to your share of the fault.
What the mall and their insurance company will try
Fashion Show Mall is owned by Brookfield Properties, one of the largest commercial real estate companies in North America. This means substantial resources to pay valid claims and sophisticated legal teams to fight them. The upside: large property management companies have documented safety protocols. When those protocols are not followed, that is strong evidence for your claim, though a company’s own protocol is not the legal standard of care and what weight it carries is for the jury.
The blame game
Mall injury claims often stall when the mall and store insurers point fingers at each other. The mall says the store was responsible. The store says the mall was responsible. Meanwhile, you’re stuck with medical bills while two insurance companies argue about whose problem you are.
This is why pursuing all potentially liable parties simultaneously matters. We send preservation letters to both the mall and relevant tenants, obtain incident reports from both, and build cases against each responsible party. No waiting to see who blinks first. No letting the blame game delay your compensation.
The recorded statement trap
Within days, an insurance adjuster may call “just to check on you” and request a recorded statement. Their questions are designed to damage your case:
- “Where exactly did you fall?” (Trying to establish it was in someone else’s area of responsibility)
- “Did you see any warning signs?” (Getting you to admit the hazard was “obvious”)
- “What shoes were you wearing?” (Setting up a comparative negligence argument)
Your response: “I am focusing on my medical treatment and recovery. My attorney will be in contact with you.”
Quick settlement pressure
Before you know the full extent of your injuries, you may receive a settlement offer. Watch for: pressure to accept quickly, an amount that doesn’t account for future medical needs, or signing a release that prevents future claims if injuries worsen.
What compensation could be available
If the mall, a store, or both were negligent, you may be entitled to recover both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages (calculable losses): Medical expenses (emergency care, surgery, physical therapy, ongoing treatment), lost wages from missed work, future medical care if injuries cause permanent limitations.
Non-economic damages (human impact): Physical pain and suffering during recovery, emotional distress from the accident, loss of enjoyment of activities you can no longer perform.
Case value depends on your specific situation: injury severity, medical expenses, lost income, how clearly negligence caused your accident, and quality of evidence preserved. Every case is different. We evaluate your case’s potential value during a free consultation.
Why Jack Bernstein for your Fashion Show mall injury case
Mall slip and fall cases are more complex than single-defendant claims. Multiple parties, multiple insurance companies, and sophisticated corporate defendants all create obstacles.

With 40+ years handling personal injury cases, Jack pursues all responsible parties from day one, sends preservation requests before evidence disappears, and builds cases that hold up regardless of which defendant tries to shift blame.
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless we successfully resolve your case. No upfront costs, no hourly bills.
Your consultation is free. We’ll evaluate your situation honestly, identify who’s liable, and tell you whether you have a case.

(702) 633-3333 Free consultation · Available 24/7 Or send us the details onlineI’m a tourist. Can I still sue if I don’t live in Nevada?
Absolutely. Nevada premises liability law applies to accidents occurring in Nevada regardless of where you live. We regularly represent out-of-state visitors injured at Las Vegas attractions. We coordinate with your local medical providers and handle Nevada legal procedures remotely when possible.
I fell inside a store. Is the mall liable at all?
Generally, the store tenant is responsible for conditions inside their premises. However, if the hazard originated from a common area (water tracked in from the corridor, a mall maintenance issue affecting the store), the mall may share liability. We investigate to identify all responsible parties.
I fell near a store entrance. Who’s responsible?
This is often the most complex scenario. If you fell on the threshold or in the area immediately outside the store, both the mall and the tenant may share responsibility. We examine exactly where you fell, what caused the fall, and who controlled that specific area.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Nevada law gives you two years from your accident date (NRS 11.190). However, security footage typically deletes within 30-90 days, and witnesses become unavailable quickly. Immediate action preserves your strongest case.
What if I didn’t report the fall to mall security?
You can still pursue a claim, but lack of an incident report makes proving your case harder. If you have photos, medical records showing treatment timing, witness information, or any receipts placing you at the mall, these help establish your claim. Contact an attorney to evaluate what evidence exists.
How much does it cost to hire Jack Bernstein?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we win. No hourly bills. We advance all case expenses and get reimbursed only from a successful result. Your consultation is free.
