What a Premises Liability Lawyer Covers

Premises liability falls under personal injury law that makes landowners liable when their negligence causes someone to get hurt. A premises liability lawyer works across situations involving retail establishments and private homes of all kinds. The foundation of these cases vary depending on the situation, which is why working with an attorney makes such a significant difference.

These cases demand that the injured party demonstrate several key elements: that the party in question had control of the property, that a dangerous situation was present, that the owner knew or should have known about it, and that the danger was the direct reason for your damages. We analyze each factor to figure out what drives your claim.

This legal category serves a wide range of people who were injured at someone else's property — guests, visitors, and in certain cases even uninvited individuals under specific legal circumstances. Figuring out what legal standard governs your claim helps determine the outcome of your claim. Our premises liability lawyers walk you through every step of your situation.

Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

The following are answers to the things people most frequently ask about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

In our office, we take on injury cases on a contingency fee basis. Simply put, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation. We collect a portion of your settlement or verdict, so you can move forward without worrying about money to pursue your claim.

The timeline for resolution depends on a number of variables, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. We provide you an honest projection from the very first meeting.

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Simply stated, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any blame assigned by the defense during negotiations or trial.

Under Nevada law, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be filed within two years from the time of the incident. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after the incident is so important.

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a number of categories of recovery. This generally covers all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, physical pain and emotional distress, and property damage in applicable cases. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
