Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Below are responses to the most common questions about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?

With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means, you pay nothing upfront until a recovery is made on your behalf. We collect a portion of your settlement or verdict, so you take on no financial burden to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

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

The length of a premises liability case varies based on a number of variables, including how complex the liability question is. Simpler cases may settle relatively quickly, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. We provide you an honest projection from the very first meeting.

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

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are offset 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.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can permanently destroy your claim. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney without delay after the incident is absolutely essential.

What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?

Successful claimants may be eligible for a range of damages. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, 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, punitive damages may also be available.
