Under Nevada law, you are still entitled to compensation even if you were partially to blame for your injuries as long as your portion of fault was not greater than 50%. If your comparative negligence (your portion of blame) was greater than 50%, you may be barred from recovering damages against another party. Remember, your words can be used against you. Making a statement to an insurance adjuster without first consulting an attorney could directly impact your right to compensation. Insurance companies may try to place you at fault for the accident reducing the amount of damages you are entitled to collect.
