The following are answers to the things people most frequently ask about working with a premises liability lawyer:

How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?

In our office, we work on a contingency structure. Simply put, you are not charged any fees until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.

Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can take one to three years or longer. Our attorneys offer you a candid assessment of expected duration during your consultation.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Simply stated, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible.
