Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered
Below are responses to the things people most frequently ask about working with a premises liability lawyer:
What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we represent premises liability clients on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. This means, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.
How long does a premises liability case typically take?The timeline for resolution varies based on several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. We provide you an honest projection from the very first meeting.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Under this rule, you can still recover damages 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 the legal process.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?According to state statutes, cases like yours must be brought to court no later than two years from the time of the incident. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. That is why contacting a premises liability lawyer without delay after your accident is so important.

This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, punitive damages may also be available.
