Premises liability is a branch of personal injury law that keeps businesses and individuals responsible when their lack of proper care causes someone to get hurt.

The foundation of these cases often require deep knowledge, which is why working with an attorney is so important.

Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ

Here are answers to the things people most frequently ask about working with a premises liability lawyer:

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

With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we work on a contingency structure. This means, you owe us nothing at the start until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so you can move forward without worrying about money to pursue your claim.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

The timeline for resolution depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries. Cases with clear liability may resolve in a few months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. We provide you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.

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

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. Simply stated, you can still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. The amount you recover is lowered by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason reaching out to our team without delay after an injury on someone else's property is so important.

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

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a number of categories of recovery. These typically include medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, the non-economic harm you have endured, and property damage in applicable cases. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
