Figuring out what legal standard governs your claim directly influences the outcome of your claim. Our premises liability lawyers walk you through the full scope of your situation.

Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions we hear most often about working with a premises liability lawyer:

What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?

In our office, we take on injury cases on a contingency structure. Simply put, you pay nothing upfront until we win your case or reach a settlement. We collect a portion of your total compensation, so you take on no financial burden to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

The length of a premises liability case depends on a number of variables, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you an honest projection as part of your initial case review.

Can I sue if I was partly responsible for my own injury?

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Under this rule, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your damages are offset by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.

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

In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be filed within two years from the time of the incident. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovery. This is exactly why reaching out to our team without delay after the incident is so important.

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

Injured property visitors may be able to recover a range of damages. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, all work-related financial losses, physical pain and emotional distress, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, punitive damages may also be available.
