Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Here 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?

In our office, we work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This means, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so you take on no financial burden to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

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

The length of a premises liability case is influenced by a number of variables, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. We provide you an honest projection as part of your initial case review.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

In Nevada, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovery. It's the reason reaching out to our team as soon as possible after your accident is so important.

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

Successful claimants may be entitled to a number of categories of recovery. These typically include your complete healthcare costs, all work-related financial losses, pain and suffering, and additional losses tied to your situation. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
