What Shared Blame Means For You
An insurer may stress your own mistakes, and in Nevada the percentage it can attach to you matters. NRS 41.141(1) sets the rule.
You can recover if your share of the fault is 50 percent or less, and your award is reduced by your share; above 50 percent the claim is barred (NRS 41.141(1)). Photographs, witness names and medical records help show where the fault lies.
Is There A Ceiling On The Award
In an ordinary injury claim in Nevada, the amount depends on the facts of the claim. What you can recover turns on the bills, the missed work and the lasting effects.
Lasting effects and missed work are part of what is proved. Punitive damages are limited separately (NRS 42.005(1)).
How Long You Have To File
Nevada allows two years to file most injury claims (NRS 11.190(4)(e)). Extra time can be available for a child and in some other limited situations (NRS 11.250(1): person within the age of 18 years at accrual).
A claim against the State or a local government has its own filing step, so ask early (NRS 41.036(1)-(2)). Damages against the State or a political subdivision are limited to $200,000 per claimant (NRS 41.035). If someone died, a separate set of rules can apply (NRS 41.085(2)). Missing the date usually ends the case, so ask any attorney to name the exact last day for yours.
