Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. We provide you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. Under this rule, you can bring a claim as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your damages are offset by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any responsibility placed on your shoulders during negotiations or trial.

Failing to act in time usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason speaking with an attorney right away after an injury on someone else's property is so important.
