Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered
The following are answers to the things people most frequently ask about working with a premises liability lawyer:
What are the legal fees for a premises liability attorney?In our office, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. We collect a portion of your total compensation, so you can move forward without worrying about money to get legal help.
How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?The length of a premises liability case depends on several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can take one to three years or longer. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration from the very first meeting.
Does shared fault affect my premises liability claim in Nevada?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Under this rule, you can pursue compensation as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.
What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?According to state statutes, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time can permanently destroy your claim. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney right away after an injury on someone else's property is so important.
What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?Injured property visitors may be eligible for a number of forms of compensation. These typically include your complete healthcare costs, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, physical pain and emotional distress, and additional losses tied to your situation.
