How a Premises Liability Lawyer Covers

Premises liability is a branch of personal injury law that holds property owners liable when their negligence leads to injury. A premises liability lawyer takes on matters involving public and private properties of all kinds. The legal theories involved vary depending on the situation, which is why working with an attorney makes such a significant difference.

These cases require proving a few critical legal points: that the party in question had control of the property, that a known or discoverable danger existed, that the owner had notice about it, and that the unsafe condition led to your injury. We analyze each factor to assess the strength of your potential recovery.

This legal category serves a wide range of people who were injured at someone else's property — guests, patrons, and sometimes even trespassers under certain exceptions the law recognizes. Figuring out what legal standard governs your claim helps determine the outcome of your claim. Our premises liability lawyers explain clearly every step of your situation.

Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are responses to the things people most frequently ask about working with a premises liability lawyer:

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

With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency fee basis. That means, you are not charged any fees until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk to get legal help.

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

The timeline for resolution depends on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while more complex matters can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you a candid assessment of expected duration from the very first meeting.

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

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during negotiations or trial.

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?

In Nevada, most premises liability claims must be brought to court no later than two years from the date of the accident. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. That is why reaching out to our team without delay after the incident is so important.

What damages are available in a premises liability claim?

Victims of premises liability accidents may be able to recover a variety of damages. These typically include medical expenses — both past and future, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, physical pain and emotional distress, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
