How a Premises Liability Lawyer Covers

Premises liability is a branch of personal injury law that holds property owners accountable when their negligence results in physical harm. A premises liability lawyer works across situations involving commercial spaces and residences alike. The arguments at play often require deep knowledge, which is why having experienced counsel makes such a significant difference.

These cases require proving 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 hazard directly caused your injury. Our attorneys analyze each factor to figure out what drives your claim.

This area of representation applies to people who were hurt while visiting someone else's property — guests, visitors, and in certain cases even uninvited individuals under particular conditions. Figuring out what legal standard governs your claim directly influences the compensation you may receive. Our premises liability lawyers explain clearly all the details in your legal journey.

Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Here are some of the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:

At our firm, we work on a contingency structure. That means, you are not charged any fees until we win your case or reach a settlement. We collect a portion of your settlement or verdict, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.

How long your claim takes depends on the specific circumstances, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer you an honest projection as part of your initial case review.

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Simply stated, you can bring a claim as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any responsibility placed on your shoulders during the legal process.

According to state statutes, most premises liability claims must be filed within two years from the time of the incident. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovery. This is exactly why contacting a premises liability lawyer right away after the incident is so important.

Successful claimants may be able to recover a variety of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, the non-economic harm you have endured, and additional losses tied to your situation. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
