Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Below are responses to 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 take on injury cases on a contingency structure. Simply put, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. Our fee is a percentage of your final recovery, so you can move forward without worrying about money to pursue your claim.

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

How long your claim takes depends on several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our team will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Under this rule, you can bring a claim as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any fault attributed to you during the legal process.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

In Nevada, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. This is exactly why contacting a premises liability lawyer right away after your accident is absolutely essential.

Victims of premises liability accidents may be eligible for a range of forms of compensation. This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
