Our fee is a percentage 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?

How long your claim takes depends on a number of variables, including how complex the liability question is. Simpler cases may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. Our team will give you a candid assessment of expected duration during your consultation.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.

Successful claimants may be able to recover a number of categories of recovery. This generally covers all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, all work-related financial losses, the non-economic harm you have endured, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, punitive damages may also be available.
