Our premises liability lawyers understand what it takes to develop a persuasive case that holds up in court.

The foundation of these cases often require deep knowledge, which is why professional legal help is so important.

Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ

The following are answers to the most common questions about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?

In our office, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency structure. This means, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation. 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 timeline for resolution depends on the specific circumstances, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while more complex matters can take one to three years or longer. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline from the very first meeting.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Under this rule, you can pursue compensation as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any fault attributed to you during the legal process.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

According to state statutes, cases like yours must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Failing to act in time typically bars you from recovery. This is exactly why contacting a premises liability lawyer without delay after an injury on someone else's property is so important.

Injured property visitors may be eligible for a variety of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, all work-related financial losses, pain and suffering, and property damage in applicable cases. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
