Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ

Here are answers to the things people most frequently ask about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?

At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency structure. Simply put, you are not charged any fees until a recovery is made on your behalf. We collect a portion of your final recovery, so you take on no financial burden to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?

The length of a premises liability case depends on several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.

Can I sue if I was partly responsible for my own injury?

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can still recover damages 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 fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?

Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Failing to act in time usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason speaking with an attorney without delay after your accident is strongly advised.

What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?

Injured property visitors may be able to recover a range of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage in applicable cases. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
