What a Premises Liability Lawyer Covers

Premises liability is a distinct area of personal injury law that keeps businesses and individuals liable when their failure to act results in physical harm. A premises liability lawyer takes on matters involving commercial spaces and residences across the board. The foundation of these cases can be complex, which is why working with an attorney matters so much.

Premises liability claims require proving specific facts: that the party in question had control of the property, that a known or discoverable danger existed, that the owner had notice about it, and that the hazard directly caused your damages. Our attorneys evaluate every element to figure out what drives your potential recovery.

This practice area is designed for people who were hurt while visiting someone else's property — customers, visitors, and in certain cases even uninvited individuals under specific legal circumstances. Knowing where your case fits helps determine the compensation you may receive. Our premises liability lawyers explain clearly the full scope of your situation.

Can I sue if I was partly responsible for my own injury?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Simply stated, you can still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are offset by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.
