In Nevada, fault in a car accident is determined based on negligence. The state follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule, meaning that the party found to be more than 50% at fault cannot recover damages. To establish fault, evidence such as police reports, witness statements, traffic laws, and accident scene analysis are considered. Insurance companies and legal professionals often conduct thorough investigations to assess liability. It’s crucial to gather as much evidence as possible and consult with a Nevada car accident attorney to ensure a fair evaluation of fault and to protect your rights.
