Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ
Below are some of the most common questions about retaining a premises liability lawyer:
Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?In our office, we work on a contingency structure. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation. We collect a portion of your settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk to get legal help.
How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?The length of a premises liability case is influenced by the specific circumstances, including the severity of your injuries. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. Our team will give you a candid assessment of expected duration as part of your initial case review.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Simply stated, you can pursue compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.
How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be brought to court no later than two years from the time of the incident. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovery. It's the reason reaching out to our team right away after the incident is absolutely essential.
What damages are available in a premises liability claim?Victims of premises liability accidents may be eligible for a number of forms of compensation. This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, 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.
