How a Premises Liability Lawyer Handles

Premises liability falls under personal injury law that holds property owners responsible when their negligence results in physical harm. A premises liability lawyer works across situations involving retail establishments and private homes of all kinds. The legal theories involved can be complex, which is why having experienced counsel is so important.

This area of law demand that the injured party demonstrate several key elements: that the party in question had control of the property, that a known or discoverable danger existed, that the owner had notice about it, and that the danger was the direct reason for your damages. Our attorneys examine the full picture to determine how strong your potential recovery.

This area of representation is designed for people who were hurt while visiting someone else's property — guests, visitors, and sometimes even trespassers under specific legal circumstances. Knowing where your case fits shapes the outcome of your claim. Our premises liability lawyers walk you through the full scope of your claim.

Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Below are answers to the most common questions about hiring a premises liability lawyer:

Will I have to pay upfront to work with a premises liability lawyer?

At our firm, we take on injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means, you owe us nothing at the start until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your total compensation, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.

What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?

How long your claim takes depends on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Simpler cases may resolve in a few months, while claims that require litigation can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer you an honest projection during your consultation.

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

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. Simply stated, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your damages are offset by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.

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

Under Nevada law, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time typically bars you from recovery. It's the reason speaking with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property is strongly advised.

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

Successful claimants may be entitled to a number of forms of compensation. This generally covers all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, physical pain and emotional distress, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In instances of willful or wanton negligence, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
