In our office, we represent premises liability clients on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This means, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your final recovery, so there is no financial risk to get legal help.

How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?

Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. We provide you an honest projection from the very first meeting.

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

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. The amount you recover is lowered 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.

Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from the time of the incident. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. That is why reaching out to our team right away after an injury on someone else's property is so important.

What am I entitled to if I win a premises liability case?

Successful claimants may be entitled to a number of forms of compensation. These typically include your complete healthcare costs, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, pain and suffering, and additional losses tied to your situation. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
