How Nevada Law Affects Your Slip and Fall Claim

Nevada uses a modified comparative fault system with a 51% bar and does not cap non-economic damages in personal injury cases. Las Vegas generates a high volume of personal injury claims due to its tourist economy, casino industry, and heavy traffic. Nevada courts can produce significant verdicts in cases involving serious injuries to both residents and tourists.

Under Nevada's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
