Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can extend over multiple years. We provide you a candid assessment of expected duration during your consultation.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident — can I still recover?

Nevada applies a proportional fault system. Simply stated, you can bring a claim as long as the other party bears at least as much responsibility as you. The amount you recover is lowered by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer works to limit any responsibility placed on your shoulders during settlement discussions.

What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Nevada?

According to state statutes, personal injury lawsuits of this type must be brought to court no later than two years from when the injury occurred. Missing this deadline usually eliminates your right to sue. This is exactly why speaking with an attorney right away after your accident is absolutely essential.

Injured property visitors may be able to recover a number of damages. These typically include your complete healthcare costs, all work-related financial losses, physical pain and emotional distress, and property damage in applicable cases.
