Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ
Below are some of the questions we hear most often about retaining a premises liability lawyer:
What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we take on injury cases on a contingency structure. This means, you pay nothing upfront until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, so you take on no financial burden to get legal help.
How long does a premises liability case typically take?The timeline for resolution depends on the specific circumstances, including the severity of your injuries. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while more complex matters can extend over multiple years. We provide you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your damages are offset by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.
How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time typically bars you from recovery. That is why reaching out to our team without delay after the incident is strongly advised.
What am I entitled to if I win a premises liability case?Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to a variety of damages. This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, all work-related financial losses, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
