Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ
Below are some of the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:
Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we represent premises liability clients on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. Simply put, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so there is no financial risk to hold a negligent property owner accountable.
What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?The length of a premises liability case is influenced by the specific circumstances, including how complex the liability question is. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while more complex matters can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you an honest projection as part of your initial case review.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Under this rule, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. The amount you recover is lowered by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any responsibility placed on your shoulders during the legal process.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Missing this deadline usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason speaking with an attorney without delay after your accident is so important.
What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?Injured property visitors may be able to recover a range of forms of compensation. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, the non-economic harm you have endured, and additional losses tied to your situation. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
