Finding the Right Premises Liability Lawyer

The Role of a Premises Liability Lawyer

What Your Premises Liability Lawyer Covers

Premises liability is a branch of personal injury law that keeps businesses and individuals liable when their negligence leads to injury. A premises liability lawyer handles cases involving retail establishments and private homes alike. The legal theories involved can be complex, which is why having experienced counsel makes such a significant difference.

These cases require proving several key elements: that the party in question had control of the property, that a dangerous situation was present, that the owner had notice about it, and that the unsafe condition led to your injury. Our attorneys analyze each factor to figure out what drives your claim.

This practice area applies to people who were injured at someone else's property — tenants, visitors, and occasionally those without permission to be there under particular conditions. Knowing where your case fits helps determine the strength of your case. Our premises liability lawyers clarify all the details in your situation.

Premises Liability Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Below are responses to the most common questions about working with a premises liability lawyer:

In our office, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency structure. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until a recovery is made on your behalf. We collect a portion of your total compensation, so there is no financial risk to hold a negligent property owner accountable.

The length of a premises liability case depends on a number of variables, including whether the insurance company cooperates. Cases with clear liability may conclude within six months, while claims that require litigation can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer you a realistic timeline as part of your initial case review.

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can bring a claim as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during negotiations or trial.

Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be brought to court no later than two years from the time of the incident. Failing to act in time can permanently destroy your claim. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney right away after the incident is strongly advised.

Injured property visitors may be able to recover a number of categories of recovery. This generally covers medical expenses — both past and future, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, physical pain and emotional distress, and property damage in applicable cases. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
