Nevada’s Comparative Negligence Laws

In Nevada, comparative negligence applies to car accident cases under NRS §41.141. This means that you can seek compensation from the other driver even if you were partially at fault, so long as the other driver bears at least 50% fault for the accident. This can be comforting for a victim who is unsure of their role in the accident, and with the help of a Pahrump car accident lawyer, you can determine your percentage of fault to see if you qualify to seek compensation.

Assigning liability is not always so cut and dry, and a lawyer can help you gather evidence to prove that the other party was liable. To do this, they may request a crash report from law enforcement or even conduct their own investigation to see what really happened. They can interview eyewitnesses and consult with accident reconstructionists to help prove the other drivers’ role in the accident.

The Services a Lawyer Can Provide

Aside from assigning liability and investigating your accident, legal counsel can help you with the ins and outs of the filing process. Whether you are seeking to file an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit, a lawyer can:

Ensure you meet the deadlines necessary for filing your case
Communicate with the insurers, adjusters, and other party’s legal team
Calculate your losses
Negotiate for fair compensation
Represent you in trial
Handle the paperwork associated with your insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit

If you have incurred losses from a recent car accident, consider letting a Pahrump car accident lawyer with High Stakes Injury Law represent you.

Nevada’s Statute of Limitations

Like many other states, Nevada has a statute of limitations that applies to all personal injury lawsuits. According to NRS §11.190(4)(e), you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you do not file within this time constraint, you risk losing your right to take legal action against the responsible party.

If you are considering seeking legal representation, keep this statute of limitations in mind. The sooner you call a law office, the sooner they can begin your case. If they believe a lawsuit is the best course of action for seeking fair compensation, you will want them to have as much time as possible to file.

Do not wait because the countdown begins on the date of your accident.

Losses You May Be Able to Recover

One of the most important things to consider when filing an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit is the full extent of your losses. Just because the car accident is over and you received immediate medical care does not mean your losses are finished accruing. In some cases, latent injuries can manifest weeks or months after your car accident, such as with whiplash, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The last thing you want to risk is settling for compensation that does not take into account any rehabilitative and ongoing therapy you may need due to your injuries. A lawyer can help you determine your actual losses, both in the present and future.

For example, you may claim lost wages, but if your injuries result in a temporary or permanent disability, you may be surprised to find that you may also qualify for compensation for future reduced earning capacity. This is not something you want to overlook when calculating your losses, as you may not be prepared to face the loss of income that could await you in the future.
