Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

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

In our office, we work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This means, you pay nothing upfront until we win your case or reach a settlement. We collect a portion of your total compensation, so you can move forward without worrying about money to pursue your claim.

The timeline for resolution is influenced by the specific circumstances, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can take one to three years or longer. Our team will give you a realistic timeline from the very first meeting.

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Simply stated, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. The amount you recover is lowered by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during settlement discussions.

In Nevada, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long typically bars you from recovery. That is why contacting a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after the incident is absolutely essential.

Successful claimants may be entitled to a range of damages. These typically include medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
