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 contingency fee basis. That means, you are not charged any fees until you actually receive compensation. Our fee is a percentage of your total compensation, so you take on no financial burden to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

How long your claim takes is influenced by the specific circumstances, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while more complex matters can take one to three years or longer. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.

Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Simply stated, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. The amount you recover is lowered by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.

What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?

According to state statutes, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer right away after your accident is so important.

Victims of premises liability accidents may be able to recover a number of forms of compensation. These typically include your complete healthcare costs, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, pain and suffering, and additional losses tied to your situation.
