The arguments at play often require deep knowledge, which is why working with an attorney makes such a significant difference.

Our team examine the full picture to figure out what drives your potential recovery.

Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions about hiring 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. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. We collect a portion of your settlement or verdict, so you can move forward without worrying about money to get legal help.

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

The length of a premises liability case is influenced by the specific circumstances, including how complex the liability question is. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. We provide you an honest projection during your consultation.

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. 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 settlement discussions.

What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?

According to state statutes, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. This is exactly why contacting a premises liability lawyer right away after an injury on someone else's property is so important.

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

Successful claimants may be eligible for a number of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, pain and suffering, and additional losses tied to your situation. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
