Aggressivly Defending Victims of Uninsured Drivers
Like many other states, Nevada has made it illegal to drive a motor vehicle without adequate insurance coverage. Failing to abide by this law can result in severe consequences, and unnecessarily place others at risk.
If you were recently involved in a Las Vegas area car accident where the responsible party was not insured or carries an insufficient policy for the damages caused, consult with an experienced attorney right away. Vegas Valley Injury Law Vegas Valley Injury Law has helped hundreds of clients in this situation and has the practice experience you need to ensure you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries and damages.
Nevada Fault-Based Liability Law
Nevada operates under a fault-based liability system when it comes to personal injury claims. This means that drivers responsible for causing an accident are generally held responsible for compensating individuals for injuries sustained actions. In these scenarios, the at-fault party’s insurance carrier usually steps in and processes any claims made against them.
It's also important to understand that when establishing negligence, Nevada incorporates a modified system of comparative fault where a victim may have their overall recovery reduced by a percentage commiserate with their share of blame for the accident. Here, Nevada law is explicit that a plaintiff is barred from recovery if their contributory negligence is greater than 50% for the accident.
Given Nevada’s unique approach to comparative fault, retaining a skilled car accident attorney right away is of the utmost importance. Insurance companies will often try to deflect a majority of the blame onto an innocent victim in an effort to reduce their liability as much as possible. Bad faith practices on the part of insurers often succeed when the person making a claim doesn't have counsel by their side to put a stop to these antics.
