The following are answers to the questions we hear most often about retaining a premises liability lawyer:
Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?In our office, we work on a contingency structure. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk to get legal help.
What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?The timeline for resolution depends on a number of variables, including how complex the liability question is. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while more complex matters can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. The amount you recover is lowered by the degree to which you contributed. 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?Under Nevada law, cases like yours must be brought to court no later than two years from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long typically bars you from recovery. It's the reason 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 eligible for a number of categories of recovery. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, the non-economic harm you have endured, and additional losses tied to your situation.
