The legal theories involved often require deep knowledge, which is why having experienced counsel matters so much.

Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some of the things people most frequently ask about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

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

In our office, we take on injury cases on a contingency structure. This means, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. We collect a portion of your total compensation, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.

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

How long your claim takes is influenced by several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer you a candid assessment of expected duration from the very first meeting.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can bring a claim as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your compensation will be reduced by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

Under Nevada law, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. It's the reason speaking with an attorney without delay after an injury on someone else's property is strongly advised.

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

Injured property visitors may be able to recover a number of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses here — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
