Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

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 structure. This means, you are not charged any fees until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your total compensation, so you take on no financial burden to get legal help.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

The timeline for resolution depends on the specific circumstances, including the severity of your injuries. Simpler cases may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Under this rule, you can pursue compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any fault attributed to you during settlement discussions.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

Under Nevada law, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from the time of the incident. Failing to act in time usually eliminates your right to sue. This is exactly why reaching out to our team right away after your accident is strongly advised.

What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a variety of damages. Common categories of compensation include all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, all work-related financial losses, the non-economic harm you have endured, and property damage in applicable cases. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
