We examine the full picture to determine how strong your claim.

Our attorneys offer you an honest projection from the very first meeting.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Under this rule, 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 can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be brought to court no later than two years from the time of the incident. Failing to act in time typically bars you from recovery. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after the incident is absolutely essential.
What damages are available in a premises liability claim?Successful claimants may be entitled to a variety of categories of recovery. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, pain and suffering, and additional losses tied to your situation. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
