Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

The following are responses to the questions we hear most often about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?

In our office, we take on injury cases on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. Simply put, you pay nothing upfront until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, so you can move forward without worrying about money to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

The timeline for resolution is influenced by the specific circumstances, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can take one to three years or longer. Our team will give you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.

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

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

Under Nevada law, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer right away after an injury on someone else's property is absolutely essential.

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

Successful claimants may be eligible for a variety of damages. These typically include medical expenses — both past and future, 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, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
