Nevada is an at-fault (tort) state. The at-fault driver's liability insurance compensates the injured party. Nevada requires minimum coverage of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident / $20,000 property damage under NRS 485.185. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own UM/UIM coverage applies. Insurance companies will attempt to minimize payouts — a Paradise car accident attorney levels the playing field and typically secures significantly higher settlements.
Nevada's statute of limitations for car accident injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident under NRS 11.190. Property damage claims have a 3-year limit. Do not wait — evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and insurance companies use delay tactics. If you miss the filing deadline, you permanently lose your right to compensation. A Paradise car accident attorney will file your claim on time and preserve all evidence.
Nevada uses modified comparative negligence under NRS 41.141. You can recover damages even if you were partially at fault — as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you recover $80,000. Insurance companies often try to inflate your percentage of fault to reduce their payout. A Paradise car accident attorney will defend your liability position.
