Premises Liability Lawyer Common Questions Answered
Below are responses to the things people most frequently ask about retaining a premises liability lawyer:
How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement. That means, you are not charged any fees until a recovery is made on your behalf. Our fee is a percentage of your total compensation, so you take on no financial burden to pursue your claim.
How much time should I expect my premises liability case to take?The timeline for resolution depends on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries.

Our team will give you an honest projection as part of your initial case review.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can still recover damages as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. The amount you recover is lowered by your percentage of fault. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.
Is there a deadline to bring a premises liability case?In Nevada, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Waiting too long typically bars you from recovery. That is why speaking with an attorney right away after the incident is strongly advised.
