At our firm, we take on injury cases on a contingency structure. That means, you are not charged any fees until we win your case or reach a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of your total compensation, so you can move forward without worrying about money to get legal help.

The length of a premises liability case is influenced by the specific circumstances, including the severity of your injuries. Simpler cases may settle relatively quickly, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our team will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.

Nevada uses a comparative negligence standard. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your compensation will be reduced by the degree to which you contributed. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during settlement discussions.

According to state statutes, most premises liability claims must be brought to court no later than two years from the date of the accident. Failing to act in time can permanently destroy your claim. It's the reason reaching out to our team without delay after an injury on someone else's property is so important.
