Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered
Below are answers to the things people most frequently ask about retaining a premises liability lawyer:
How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?At our firm, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency fee basis. That means, you are not charged any fees until you actually receive compensation. 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.
How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?How long your claim takes varies based on the specific circumstances, including how complex the liability question is. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can extend over multiple years. Our team will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. Simply stated, you can still recover damages 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 fights to reduce any responsibility placed on your shoulders during negotiations or trial.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?According to state statutes, cases like yours must be brought to court no later than two years from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney right away after an injury on someone else's property is so important.
What damages are available in a premises liability claim?Successful claimants may be able to recover a range of categories of recovery. These typically include medical expenses — both past and future, all work-related financial losses, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
