How a Premises Liability Lawyer Handles

Premises liability is a distinct area of personal injury law that makes landowners responsible when their negligence causes someone to get hurt. A premises liability lawyer takes on matters involving commercial spaces and residences alike. The foundation of these cases vary depending on the situation, which is why having experienced counsel is so important.

This area of law require proving several key elements: that the defendant owned or controlled the property, that a hazardous condition existed, that the owner knew or should have known about it, and that the danger was the direct reason for your injury. Our attorneys analyze each factor to figure out what drives your case.

This practice area serves a wide range of people who suffered injuries while on someone else's property — customers, patrons, and in certain cases even uninvited individuals under certain exceptions the law recognizes. Knowing where your case fits directly influences the strength of your case. Our premises liability lawyers walk you through every step of your legal journey.

Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Below are some of the questions we hear most often about retaining a premises liability lawyer:

At our firm, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means, you pay nothing upfront until a recovery is made on your behalf. We collect a portion of your settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk to pursue your claim.

How long your claim takes is influenced by the specific circumstances, here including the severity of your injuries. Cases with clear liability may settle relatively quickly, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can extend over multiple years. We provide you an honest projection during your consultation.

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can bring a claim as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any fault attributed to you during negotiations or trial.

Under Nevada law, cases like yours must be brought to court no later than two years from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time typically bars you from recovery. That is why reaching out to our team right away after an injury on someone else's property is strongly advised.

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a range of damages. This generally covers your complete healthcare costs, all work-related financial losses, pain and suffering, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident. In cases involving especially egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
