Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered
Here are responses to the most common questions about retaining a premises liability lawyer:
Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency structure. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation. Our payment is a share of your total compensation, 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 several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Simpler cases may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. Our team will give you an honest projection as part of your initial case review.
Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can still recover damages as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. The amount you recover is lowered by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.
What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?Under Nevada law, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be brought to court no later than two years from the time of the incident. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. That is why reaching out to our team without delay after your accident is absolutely essential.

This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, punitive damages may also be available.
