Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Below are responses to the questions we hear most often about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

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

At our firm, we work on a contingency fee basis. Simply put, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your final recovery, so you can move forward without worrying about money to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

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

The timeline for resolution varies based on the specific circumstances, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can require more time to fully develop and resolve. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration from the very first meeting.

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

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. 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 fights to reduce any fault attributed to you during settlement discussions.

What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?

According to state statutes, cases like yours must be brought to court no later than two years from the date of the accident. Failing to act in time can permanently destroy your claim. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after the incident is strongly advised.

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

Injured property visitors may be able to recover a number 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 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.
