Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Here are responses to the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:

At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk to pursue your claim.

The timeline for resolution is influenced by several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration as part of your initial case review.

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can bring a claim 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 fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.

In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. This is exactly why reaching out to our team without delay after the incident is so important.

Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to a number of damages. This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, the non-economic harm you have endured, and property damage in applicable cases. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, punitive damages may also be available.
