Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.
Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Under this rule, you can still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are offset by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.
