The timeline for resolution is influenced by several factors, including the severity of your injuries. Cases with clear liability may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can take one to three years or longer. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline during your consultation.

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.
