Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

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

What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?

At our firm, we take on injury cases on a contingency structure. Simply put, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. We collect a portion of your total compensation, so you take on no financial burden to get legal help.

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

How long your claim takes is influenced by several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our team will give you a realistic timeline from the very first meeting.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Simply stated, you can bring a claim 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 fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.

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

Under Nevada law, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be filed within two years from when the injury occurred. Missing this deadline usually eliminates your right to sue. That is why contacting a premises liability lawyer right away after the incident is absolutely essential.

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

Successful claimants may be eligible for a range 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 instances of willful or wanton negligence, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
