Proving Walgreens was legally negligent
Just because you fell at Walgreens does not mean you have an automatic case. Nevada property owners owe visitors a duty of reasonable care under the circumstances, and Nevada’s general liability statute (NRS 41.130) makes a person who causes injury by wrongful act, neglect or default liable for damages, and makes an employer liable for its employee’s conduct. To hold the corporation liable, we generally must show four things:
- Actual knowledge: An employee saw the spill (or created it) and did nothing.
- Constructive knowledge: The hazard existed for so long that a reasonably diligent employee should have discovered it during a routine inspection.
What factors can make a Walgreens case harder?
We believe in being honest with our clients. Some factors can make a case more challenging, which is why insurance companies will try to use them against you:
You ignored warning signs
The hazard was “open and obvious”
Insufficient time
You were in an “employees only” area
Even if you think one of these applies, do not give up. We know how to investigate the full context of your fall.
How we counter Walgreens’ “open and obvious” defense
The single most common defense Walgreens will use is that the hazard was “open and obvious” and that you are at fault for not being more careful.
This is a blame-shifting tactic. We know how to defeat it.
A store like Walgreens is designed to distract you. You are supposed to be looking at price tags, promotional “end-cap” displays, and product labels on shelves, not staring at the floor. We counter this defense by proving:
- Walgreens’ layout and marketing are intended to draw your eyes up and away from the floor.
- The hazard was not truly obvious, such as a clear liquid on a polished white tile floor or a dark-colored spill in a poorly lit aisle.
- Walgreens knew this was a problem area, and their “obvious” solution (like a bunched-up mat) was actually part of the hazard itself.
Operational failures: the real causes of Walgreens falls
With over 40 years of experience, Jack Bernstein recognizes that these falls are not random “accidents.” They are the predictable results of corporate operational failures. Walgreens stores are corporate-owned by Walgreens Boots Alliance, a single, massive entity. This means they follow standardized, but often flawed, procedures.
We investigate these specific failures:
Specific hazard zones
- The entrance: Tracked-in rain (especially during Las Vegas monsoons) or water from overnight mopping creates a slick hazard on polished floors.
- Refrigeration aisles: Freezers and open coolers are known to leak, drip, and spread condensation, creating persistent puddles that staff ignore.
- Seasonal/Promotional aisles: These “end-cap” displays are often cluttered, with merchandise falling into the walkway, creating a trip hazard.
- The pharmacy: The high-traffic waiting area and the floor behind the counter (where techs may wash hands) are common zones for spills.
Inadequate staffing
Why Walgreens falls cause severe injuries
You may be feeling that your injuries are “too severe” for a simple fall. We understand. Falls in Walgreens are often catastrophic for two key reasons:
- Fractured hips, femurs, and pelvises
- Broken wrists and shattered elbows (from trying to catch the fall)
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) and facial fractures
- Herniated discs and severe back injuries
What compensation can you recover?
We fight to hold Walgreens accountable for the full scope of your losses. In Nevada, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
Economic damages
- All medical bills (past and future), including surgery, hospital stays, and physical therapy.
- Lost wages from the time you missed at work.
- Loss of future earning capacity if you cannot return to your job.
Non-economic damages
- Physical pain and suffering.
- Emotional distress and anxiety.
- Loss of enjoyment of life (e.g., you can no longer garden, travel, or care for your family as you once did).
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement.
Every case is different, and we cannot promise a specific result. We will investigate your claim and pursue any compensation that may be available under the facts and the law.

(702) 633-3333 Free consultation · Available 24/7 Or send us the details onlineWalgreens is my regular pharmacy. If I file a claim, will they ban me or refuse to fill my prescriptions?
This is the most common and understandable fear for a Walgreens customer. Denying you medically necessary medication for a non-medical reason like retaliation would be a serious violation of pharmacy board regulations (NRS 639.210, NAC 639.753). Pharmacists can only decline to fill a valid prescription for specific, health-related reasons, and retaliation is not one of them. We handle all communication with the corporation to ensure you are protected.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Nevada?
You generally have two years to file a lawsuit (NRS 11.190(4)(e)), measured from when your claim accrues, and different deadlines and exceptions can apply, including that the period does not run while the injured person was under 18 or insane when the claim accrued (NRS 11.250). However, you must act immediately. The most important evidence, the security video of your fall, is often destroyed quickly, as many large retailers have corporate retention policies that automatically overwrite footage in as little as 30 days. You need to contact an attorney today so we can send a legal “spoliation letter” to demand they preserve that evidence.
What if I was partially at fault for my fall?
Nevada follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule (NRS 41.141). This means you can still recover compensation as long as your negligence was not greater than the negligence of the defendant, or the combined negligence of the defendants you are suing. Your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 10% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would receive $90,000. This is a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only. Actual outcomes depend on the specific facts of your case.
How much does it cost to hire Jack Bernstein?
We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no attorney’s fees unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs or hourly bills.
