Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the things people most frequently ask about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency fee basis. That means, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. 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.

The timeline for resolution depends on several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline during your consultation.

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. Under this rule, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. The amount you recover is lowered by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.

In Nevada, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer right away after your accident is strongly advised.

Successful claimants may be entitled to a range of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include your complete healthcare costs, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, physical pain and emotional distress, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
