Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:

In our office, we take on injury cases on a contingency structure. That means, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. Our payment is a share of your total compensation, so there is no financial risk to pursue your claim.

The timeline for resolution depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries. Straightforward claims may conclude within six 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 during your consultation.

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Under this rule, you can bring a claim as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any responsibility placed on your shoulders during the legal process.

According to state statutes, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be filed within two years from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time usually eliminates your right to sue. This is exactly why contacting a premises liability lawyer without delay after the incident is strongly advised.

Injured property visitors may be eligible for a range of damages. These typically include all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, all work-related financial losses, physical pain and emotional distress, and property damage in applicable cases. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
