Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are responses to the questions we hear most often about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?

With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency fee basis. This means, you are not charged any fees until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your total compensation, 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 varies based on a number of variables, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. 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. Simply stated, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. The amount you recover is lowered by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?

Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is absolutely essential.

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

Successful claimants may be able to recover a variety of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, all work-related financial losses, pain and suffering, and property damage in applicable cases. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
