What Your Premises Liability Lawyer Addresses

Premises liability is a branch of personal injury law that holds property owners liable when their lack of proper care results in physical harm.

The foundation of these cases can be complex, which is why professional legal help makes such a significant difference.

Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Here are some of the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:

In our office, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency structure. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so you can move forward without worrying about money to get legal help.

The timeline for resolution is influenced by several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can extend over multiple years. Our team will give you an honest projection from the very first meeting.

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can bring a claim as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer here can help minimize any blame assigned by the defense during settlement discussions.

In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be brought to court no later than two years from the date of the accident. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. That is why speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is so important.

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a range of forms of compensation. Common categories of compensation include your complete healthcare costs, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, physical pain and emotional distress, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
