Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to the questions we hear most often about working with a premises liability lawyer:
What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?At our firm, we take on injury cases on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation. We collect a portion of your total compensation, so you can move forward without worrying about money to pursue your claim.
How long does a premises liability case typically take?How long your claim takes varies based on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Simpler cases may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you an honest projection 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 bring a claim as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during negotiations or trial.
How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?In Nevada, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Failing to act in time typically bars you from recovery. That is why contacting a premises liability lawyer without delay after the incident is absolutely essential.
What damages are available in a premises liability claim?Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to a range of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, the non-economic harm you have endured, and property damage in applicable cases. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
