Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some of the questions we hear most often about working with a premises liability lawyer:

Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?

At our firm, we work on a contingency structure. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until a recovery is made on your behalf. We collect a portion of your total compensation, so there is no financial risk to get legal help.

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

How long your claim takes varies based on several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. We provide 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 uses a comparative negligence standard. Under this rule, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?

Under Nevada law, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Failing to act in time usually eliminates your right to sue. That is why contacting a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after your accident is so important.

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

Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to a variety of forms of compensation. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, all work-related financial losses, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
