Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Here are responses to the questions we hear most often about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?

At our firm, we take on injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. Our fee is a percentage of your total compensation, so there is no financial risk to pursue your claim.

How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?

The timeline for resolution is influenced by several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may settle relatively quickly, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our team will give you a realistic timeline from the very first meeting.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. The amount you recover is lowered by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any responsibility placed on your shoulders during the legal process.

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?

According to state statutes, cases like yours must be brought to court no later than two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer without delay after the incident is strongly advised.

What am I entitled to if I win a premises liability case?

Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to a range of damages. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, the non-economic harm you have endured, and additional losses tied to your situation. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
