Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some of the questions we hear most often about working with a premises liability lawyer:

Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?

At our firm, we work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. Simply put, you are not charged any fees until a recovery is made on your behalf. We collect a portion of your final recovery, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

How long your claim takes is influenced by a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Cases with clear liability may settle relatively quickly, while more complex matters can extend over multiple years. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration from the very first meeting.

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 your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any fault attributed to you during settlement discussions.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

According to state statutes, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from the time of the incident. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovery. That is why reaching out to our team without delay after an injury on someone else's property is strongly advised.

What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?

Successful claimants may be able to recover a variety of categories of recovery. These typically include all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, all work-related financial losses, 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.
