The legal theories involved vary depending on the situation, which is why working with an attorney is so important.

This area of representation is designed for people who suffered injuries while on someone else's property — guests, patrons, and sometimes even trespassers under particular conditions.

Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Here are responses to the things people most frequently ask about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?

In our office, we represent premises liability clients on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This means, you are not charged any fees until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, so you can move forward without worrying about money to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

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

The timeline for resolution varies based on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Cases with clear liability may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration as part of your initial case review.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can bring a claim 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 can help minimize 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, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from the time of the incident. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. This is exactly why reaching out to our team as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is strongly advised.

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

Victims of premises liability accidents may be able to recover a range of damages. These typically include medical expenses — both past and future, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, the non-economic harm you have endured, and additional losses tied to your situation. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
