Premises Liability Lawyer FAQ
The following are responses to the questions we hear most often about working with a premises liability lawyer:
How much does it cost to hire a premises liability lawyer?With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we represent premises liability clients on a contingency fee basis.

Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict, so you can move forward without worrying about money to pursue your claim.
What is the timeline for a premises liability claim?How long your claim takes is influenced by the specific circumstances, including the severity of your injuries. Straightforward claims may settle relatively quickly, while more complex matters can extend over multiple years. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration as part of your initial case review.
Can I sue if I was partly responsible for my own injury?Nevada applies a proportional fault system. This means, you can pursue compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%.

What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?According to state statutes, cases like yours must be initiated within a two-year window from when the injury occurred. Failing to act in time typically bars you from recovery. It's the reason contacting a premises liability lawyer as soon as possible after your accident is so important.
