Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some of the questions we hear most often about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

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

At our firm, we work on a contingency structure. Simply put, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation. Our fee is a percentage 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?

How long your claim takes varies based on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Straightforward claims may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer 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 follows a modified comparative fault rule. Under this rule, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any fault attributed to you during the legal process.

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

In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be brought to court no later than two years from when the injury occurred. Missing this deadline can permanently destroy your claim. That is why speaking with an attorney without delay 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. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, physical pain and emotional distress, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
