Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

The following are responses to the questions we hear most often 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 no-win, no-fee arrangement. Simply put, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. We collect a portion of your settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

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

How long your claim takes is influenced by the specific circumstances, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can take one to three years or longer. 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 uses a comparative negligence standard. Under this rule, you can still recover damages 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 fault attributed to you during settlement discussions.

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

In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Waiting too long typically bars you from recovery. This is exactly why contacting a premises liability lawyer without delay after the incident is strongly advised.

What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?

Successful claimants may be able to recover a number of damages. This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, physical pain and emotional distress, and additional losses tied to your situation. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
