The Importance of Modified Comparative Negligence in Nevada Cases
Just because personal injury cases don’t often involve heated jury trials and proceedings, that doesn’t mean that they are easy or simple tasks. One aspect about personal injury litigation is that the defendant isn’t always a person–businesses, insurance companies, and even government entities can also be sued. Determining the guilty party and proving their negligence is just as difficult as any legal task; suffice it to say that you’ll need an experienced attorney to reach your goals.
Attorneys are also licensed to practice in specific jurisdictions, meaning that they will know about all the particular rules and regulations that you will need to follow in order to remain compliant with court policy. One of the most important tidbits for Nevada claimants to remember is that of modified comparative negligence.
Under modified comparative negligence, the fault for an accident is on a percentage scale that is divided between all parties at the discretion of the court. In other words, instead of an absolute winner and loser, everyone can be given blame, with the totals adding to 100 percent in the end. The fault for an accident may be split in any combination, from 50-50, 75-25, 32-68, etc. Just keep two things in mind: 1) a percentage of fault equates to a reduction in end settlement (i.e. 20 percent fault reduces settlement by 20 percent) and 2) any party with over half (50 percent) of the fault cannot receive compensation at all.

Determining the Compensation Available to You
In order to win a personal injury suit, you must prove that your injuries caused you to suffer financial losses, as well as emotional and psychological trauma if applicable. The total settlement a claimant will receive will vary greatly depending on multiple factors, including severity and accident type. The range for potential figures can go from a couple thousand dollars all the way up to tens of millions.
For the most part, compensatory damages are what people refer to when talking about personal injury cases. These are the main forms of financial and emotional loss, and the most common forms include:
- Medical costs
- Property damage
- Lost wages, damage to future earnings
- Disability
- Loss of enjoyment
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
Exceptionally heinous or negligent defendants also run the risk of having to pay punitive damages on top of compensatory damages. These are very steep fines that are only used when courts want to send a warning to others that especially unruly behavior will not be tolerated. All in all, they are only awarded in about 5 percent of total cases.
