In an accident where a negligent party is totally at fault for a victim’s damages and injuries, the victim reserves the right to file a claim against the negligent party (or their insurance company), alongside the right to seek recovery for 100 percent of their damages. This is because the state of Nevada abides by an at-fault system of recovery. However, in the event that a victim in an accident is partially at fault for the accident, the right to recover 100 percent of their damages no longer applies. Instead, the rule of comparative negligence comes into effect. With the comparative negligence rule, your final settlement award will be deducted by the percentage of fault you are responsible for. As long as you are less than 50 percent at fault, you can still recover financially.
