Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

The following are responses to the most common questions about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?

At our firm, we take on injury cases on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you pay nothing upfront until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so there is no financial risk to pursue your claim.

How long does a premises liability case typically take?

The length of a premises liability case varies based on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Simpler cases may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you a candid assessment of expected duration 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 pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are offset by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any responsibility placed on your shoulders during the legal process.

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

According to state statutes, cases like yours must be brought to court no later than two years from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long typically bars you from recovery. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is strongly advised.

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

Victims of premises liability accidents may be eligible for a number of damages. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, 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, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
