The foundation of these cases can be complex, which is why working with an attorney makes such a significant website difference.

Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Here are some of the most common questions about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

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

At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency structure. This means, you owe us nothing at the start until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.

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

The timeline for resolution is influenced by the specific circumstances, including the severity of your injuries. Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can take one to three years or longer. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration during your consultation.

Can I sue if I was partly responsible for my own injury?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. The amount you recover is lowered by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any fault attributed to you during the legal process.

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

Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be brought to court no later than two years from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. That is why contacting a premises liability lawyer without delay after the incident is strongly advised.

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

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a number of forms of compensation. This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and additional losses tied to your situation. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
