Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered
Here are answers to the things people most frequently ask about working with a premises liability lawyer:
How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?In our office, we take on injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means, you are not charged any fees until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your total compensation, so you can move forward without worrying about money to get legal help.
How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?The length of a premises liability case varies based on several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can take one to three years or longer. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline from the very first meeting.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, 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 your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?According to state statutes, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from the time of the incident. Failing to act in time can permanently destroy your claim. That is why speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is absolutely essential.
What damages are available in a premises liability claim?Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to a range 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 property damage in applicable cases. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
