We analyze each factor to determine how strong your case.

Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ

Here are some of the things people most frequently ask about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?

With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we take on injury cases 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 settlement or verdict, so you can move forward without worrying about money to pursue your claim.

How long does a premises liability case typically take?

The timeline for resolution varies based on the specific circumstances, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. Our team will give you a realistic timeline from the very first meeting.

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 your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any fault attributed to you during the legal process.

Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?

According to state statutes, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long usually eliminates your right to sue. It's the reason speaking with an attorney right away after the incident is strongly advised.

What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?

Victims of premises liability accidents may be entitled to a number of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include your complete healthcare costs, all work-related financial losses, physical pain and emotional distress, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
