Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions
The following are responses to the things people most frequently ask about hiring 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 no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our payment is a share of your total compensation, so there is no financial risk to pursue your claim.
What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?The timeline for resolution depends on several factors, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while more complex matters can require more time to fully develop and resolve. We provide you an honest projection during your consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. The amount you recover is lowered 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?In Nevada, most premises liability claims must be filed within two years from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. It's the reason speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is so important.
What am I entitled to if I win a premises liability case?Successful claimants may be eligible for a variety of forms of compensation. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, all work-related financial losses, the non-economic harm you have endured, and property damage in applicable cases. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
