Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

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

At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you pay nothing upfront until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, so you can move forward without worrying about money to get legal help.

How long your claim takes is influenced by several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Straightforward claims may conclude within six months, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. We provide you an honest projection from the very first meeting.

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. Simply stated, you can bring a claim as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.

Under Nevada law, cases like yours must be filed within two years from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time here typically bars you from recovery. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is absolutely essential.

Injured property visitors may be able to recover a variety of damages. These typically include all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, physical pain and emotional distress, and additional losses tied to your situation. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
