Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the things people most frequently ask about hiring a premises liability lawyer:
How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?In our office, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency structure. This means, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. Our fee is a percentage 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 is influenced by several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can extend over multiple years. We provide you an honest projection from the very first meeting.
Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.
What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?In Nevada, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can permanently destroy your claim. That is why contacting a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after the incident is strongly advised.
