Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?At our firm, we take on injury cases on a contingency fee basis.

Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are offset by the degree to which you contributed.
