At our firm, 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. We collect a portion of your settlement or verdict, so you take on no financial burden to get legal help.

How long your claim takes is influenced by several factors, including how complex the liability question is. Simpler cases may conclude within six months, while cases involving serious injury or disputed liability can require more time to fully develop and resolve. Our attorneys offer you an honest projection as part of your initial case review.

Nevada follows a modified comparative fault rule. Simply stated, you can still recover damages 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 works to limit any blame assigned by the defense during negotiations or trial.

Under Nevada law, most premises liability claims must be initiated within a two-year window from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can permanently destroy your claim. That is why speaking with an attorney right away after the incident is so important.

Injured property visitors may be entitled to a range of categories of recovery. Common categories of compensation include your complete healthcare costs, income you have already lost and income you may lose going forward, physical pain and emotional distress, and property damage in applicable cases. In situations where the owner acted with extreme recklessness, courts may award additional punishment-based damages.
