Nevada follows modified comparative negligence rules, allowing recovery if you’re less than 51% at fault for the accident. Your compensation reduces by your percentage of fault, so 20% fault means receiving 80% of total damages. Insurance companies aggressively argue comparative fault to minimize payouts, making strong legal representation essential. Common fault allegations include speeding, distracted driving, or failure to avoid the accident even when the other party initiated it. Your attorney will counter these arguments by thoroughly investigating and presenting evidence minimizing your fault percentage. Witness testimony, accident reconstruction, and traffic camera footage help establish accurate fault distribution. Even admitted partial fault doesn’t eliminate recovery rights, though it affects final compensation amounts proportionally.
