Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions
The following are answers to the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:
How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we take on injury cases on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you pay nothing upfront until you actually receive compensation. Our payment is a share of your settlement or verdict, 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 varies based 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. Our attorneys offer you an honest projection during your consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Simply stated, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?In Nevada, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovery. That is why speaking with an attorney without delay after your accident is so important.
What types of compensation can I recover in a premises liability case?Victims of premises liability accidents may be able to recover a number of forms of compensation. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, the non-economic harm you have endured, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, you may be entitled to more than just compensatory damages.
