Injured in Las Vegas While Visiting from Washington? Here’s What to Do

October 15, 2025 | Back to Blog

Each year, thousands of visitors from Washington State travel to Las Vegas for conventions, concerts, and vacations. Unfortunately, a fun trip can take a painful turn when an unexpected accident occurs. Whether you’re hurt in a hotel, casino, rideshare, or on the Strip, being far from home makes the situation even more stressful.

If you were injured in Las Vegas but live in Washington, the team at Morris Injury Law is here to help. We represent out-of-state visitors who were hurt due to negligence in Nevada and help them recover full and fair compensation.

Common Accidents for Washington Visitors in Las Vegas

Tourists from Washington face many of the same risks as local residents — but unfamiliar surroundings and crowded venues can increase the chances of getting hurt. Common types of accidents include:

Car Accidents – Including rental car crashes, Uber/Lyft collisions, or out-of-state driver incidents
Slip and Fall Accidents – Wet floors, broken stairs, and uneven tiles in hotels, casinos, or restaurants
Hotel and Resort Injuries – Unsafe pools, broken furniture, or negligent security incidents
Casino and Nightclub Accidents – Overcrowding, intoxicated guests, or poorly maintained areas
Pedestrian Accidents – Heavy foot traffic and distracted drivers on the Strip or Fremont Street

If you were injured due to another party’s negligence while visiting Nevada, a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer can help you file a claim — even after you’ve returned home to Washington.

Do I Need a Nevada Lawyer If I Live in Washington?

Yes. If your accident happened in Nevada, your case will fall under Nevada jurisdiction — meaning you’ll need a Nevada-licensed attorney to represent you.

While you live in Washington, Morris Injury Law can handle your claim entirely from Las Vegas. We manage communication with insurers, gather evidence, and pursue your case while keeping you informed every step of the way. You won’t need to travel back and forth — we handle everything for you.

What to Do If You’re Injured While Visiting Las Vegas

If you suffer an injury in Las Vegas, these steps can make a big difference in protecting your health and your case:

Get Medical Care Immediately – Visit a local urgent care or hospital and document your injuries.
Report the Incident – Notify hotel management, security, or law enforcement right away.
Take Photos and Videos – Capture the scene, hazard, and any visible injuries.
Get Witness Information – Collect names and contact details of anyone who saw the incident.
Avoid Giving Statements – Don’t speak to insurance companies or hotel representatives until you have legal counsel.
Contact Morris Injury Law – We can start your Nevada claim while you return safely home to Washington.
