Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

The following are answers to the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:

Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?

In our office, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency fee basis. This means, you pay nothing upfront until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your total compensation, so there is no financial risk to get legal help.

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

The timeline for resolution is influenced by the specific circumstances, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. Our team will give you an honest projection as part of your initial case review.

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

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Simply stated, you can bring a claim as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.

What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?

According to state statutes, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovery. It's the reason reaching out to our team right away after the incident is absolutely essential.

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

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a number of damages. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, the non-economic harm you have endured, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
