Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered
Here are some of the most common questions about retaining a premises liability lawyer:
Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?At our firm, we work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so you take on no financial burden to hold a negligent property owner accountable.
What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?The timeline for resolution depends on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Straightforward claims may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can require more time to fully develop and resolve. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration from the very first meeting.
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%. The amount you recover is lowered by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be filed within two years from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time typically bars you from recovery. That is why reaching out to our team as soon as possible after your accident is so important.
What damages are available in a premises liability claim?Victims of premises liability accidents may be eligible for a variety of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage in applicable cases. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
