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

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. The amount you recover is lowered by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any responsibility placed on your shoulders during the legal process.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

In Nevada, cases like yours 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. It's the reason speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is so important.

What damages are available in a premises liability claim?

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a variety of categories of recovery. These typically include your complete healthcare costs, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, pain and suffering, and property damage in applicable cases. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
