With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we take on injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means, you are not charged any fees until you actually receive compensation. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so you can move forward without worrying about money to get legal help.

How long your claim takes varies based on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Cases with clear liability may settle relatively quickly, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you a candid assessment of expected duration during your consultation.

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. Simply stated, you can pursue compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.

Successful claimants may be entitled to a variety of damages.
