Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the things people most frequently ask about working with a premises liability lawyer:

At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency structure. Simply put, you are not charged any fees until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

How long your claim takes depends on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Cases with clear liability may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration from the very first meeting.

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can still recover damages 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 works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during settlement discussions.

Under Nevada law, cases like yours must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Failing to act in time usually eliminates your right to sue. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney without delay after an injury on someone else's property is absolutely essential.

Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to a variety of categories of recovery. These typically include medical expenses — both past and future, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, pain and suffering, and property damage in applicable cases. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
