What Your Premises Liability Lawyer Covers

Premises liability is a distinct area of personal injury law that keeps businesses and individuals responsible when their negligence leads to injury. A premises liability lawyer takes on matters involving commercial spaces and residences alike. The arguments at play vary depending on the situation, which is why having experienced counsel matters so much.

Premises liability claims demand that the injured party demonstrate a few critical legal points: that the property owner was responsible for the property, that a dangerous situation was present, that the owner knew or should have known about it, and that the danger was the direct reason for your injury. Our team examine the full picture to determine how strong your claim.

This practice area is designed for people who suffered injuries while on someone else's property — tenants, passersby, and in certain cases even uninvited individuals under specific legal circumstances. Figuring out what legal standard governs your claim helps determine the compensation you may receive. Our premises liability lawyers explain clearly the full scope of your claim.

Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are responses to the things people most frequently ask about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency fee basis. Simply put, you are not charged any fees until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, so you take on no financial burden to get legal help.

The length of a premises liability case depends on a number of variables, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer you a candid assessment of expected duration as part of your initial case review.

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your damages are offset by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.

In Nevada, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long typically bars you from recovery. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney right away after your accident is strongly advised.

Successful claimants may be able to recover a number of categories of recovery. These typically include your complete healthcare costs, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, pain and suffering, and additional losses tied to your situation. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
