Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ

In our office, we take on injury cases on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you pay nothing upfront until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your final recovery, so you can move forward without worrying about money to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our team will give you a candid assessment of expected duration as part of your initial case review.

Can I sue if I was partly responsible for my own injury?

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Under this rule, you can bring a claim as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during settlement discussions.

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?

According to state statutes, most premises liability claims must be brought to court no later than two years from the time of the incident. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. This is exactly why reaching out to our team without delay after your accident is strongly advised.

What damages are available in a premises liability claim?

Successful claimants may be eligible for a range of damages. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, physical pain and emotional distress, and additional losses tied to your situation. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
