Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions
Below are responses to the questions we hear most often about hiring a premises liability lawyer:
How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?In our office, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means, you pay nothing upfront until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, so you can move forward without worrying about money 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 is influenced by a number of variables, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline from the very first meeting.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can pursue compensation 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 can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?In Nevada, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time can permanently destroy your claim. That is why speaking with an attorney right away after the incident is absolutely essential.
What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?Injured property visitors may be able to recover a variety of forms of compensation.
