Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:

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

At our firm, we work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This means, you are not charged any fees until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our payment is a share of your total compensation, so you can move forward without worrying about money to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

The length of a premises liability case is influenced by several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Cases with clear liability 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 applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during settlement discussions.

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 when the injury occurred. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. That is why speaking with an attorney right away after your accident is absolutely essential.

What am I entitled to if I win a premises liability case?

Victims of premises liability accidents may be eligible for a number of categories of recovery. This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, all work-related financial losses, physical pain and emotional distress, and additional losses tied to your situation. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
