With H&P Accident & Injury Lawyers, we take on injury cases on a contingency structure. That means, you owe us nothing at the start until you actually receive compensation.

How long your claim takes varies based on a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries. Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while more complex matters can extend over multiple years. Our attorneys offer you a candid assessment of expected duration during your consultation.

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means, you can bring a claim as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. Your compensation will be reduced by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer can help minimize any responsibility placed on your shoulders during negotiations or trial.

These typically include all hospital bills, therapy costs, and anticipated future treatment, all work-related financial losses, the non-economic harm you have endured, and any personal property lost or damaged in the incident.
