Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are answers to the most common questions about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?

At our firm, we take on injury cases on a contingency structure. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, so you take on no financial burden to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

The length of a premises liability case varies based on several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. Our team will give you an honest projection during your consultation.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can bring a claim as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. The amount you recover is lowered by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any responsibility placed on your shoulders during negotiations or trial.

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

According to state statutes, personal injury lawsuits of this type 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 speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is so important.

What damages are available in a premises liability claim?

Successful claimants may be able to recover a number of forms of compensation. These typically 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 additional losses tied to your situation. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
