Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to the things people most frequently ask 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 take on injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This 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 there is no financial risk to pursue your claim.

Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. Our team will give you a candid assessment of expected duration as part of your initial case review.

Can I sue if I was partly responsible for my own injury?

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during negotiations or trial.

How long do I have to file a premises liability lawsuit?

In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be filed within two years from the time of the incident. Waiting too long typically bars you from recovery. It's the reason speaking with an attorney right away after an injury on someone else's property is so important.

What am I entitled to if I win a premises liability case?

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a variety of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include your complete healthcare costs, all work-related financial losses, pain and suffering, and additional losses tied to your situation. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, punitive damages may also be available.
