Here are answers to the questions we hear most often about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

In our office, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency fee basis. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so there is no financial risk to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

How long your claim takes depends on the specific circumstances, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can take one to three years or longer. We provide you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Under this rule, you can bring a claim as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. The amount you recover is lowered by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during the legal process.

Under Nevada law, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. It's the reason reaching out to our team right away after your accident is strongly advised.

Successful claimants may be eligible for a range of forms of compensation.
