Fault-based auto accident system

• Nevada uses a fault-based system for car accidents.

Typically, an injured person may seek compensation from the at-fault driver's insurance company rather than their own, but fault must be proven.

Comparative negligence

• Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule.

An injured person may still recover compensation even if they are found partially at fault, so long as they are less than 51% responsible. Any compensation may be reduced by the person's percentage of fault.

Statutes of limitation (time limits)

The site highlights general time limits for certain types of claims in Nevada:

• Personal injury or wrongful death due to another's wrongful act or neglect: generally 2 years from the date of the event or from injury discovery.
• Medical malpractice: generally 3 years from the date of the injury (subject to statutory rules and exceptions).
• Claims involving government entities may have shorter deadlines and special notice requirements.

Missing a deadline can prevent a claim from being filed, so injured people are encouraged to speak with a Nevada personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

These time limits are summarized from the firm's website and Nevada statutes referenced there. Actual deadlines can vary depending on the facts and changes in the law. Anyone with a potential claim should contact the firm directly for up-to-date, case-specific advice.
