Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ
The following are some of the most common questions about hiring a premises liability lawyer:
Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we represent premises liability clients on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you are not charged any fees until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your final recovery, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.
How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?The length of a premises liability case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries. Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can take one to three years or longer. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration as part of your initial case review.
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 your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.
What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?According to state statutes, most premises liability claims must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. That is why speaking with an attorney without delay after an injury on someone else's property is strongly advised.
What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?Victims of premises liability accidents may be eligible for a range of categories of recovery. This generally covers all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, the non-economic harm you have endured, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
