Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ
Below are responses to the questions we hear most often about working with 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. We collect a portion of your final recovery, so there is no financial risk to pursue your claim.
What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?The length of a premises liability case varies based on several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Cases with clear liability may settle relatively quickly, while claims that require litigation can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you a candid assessment of expected duration from the very first meeting.
Can I sue if I was partly responsible for my own injury?Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can bring a claim as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%.
