Ask Sam Mirejovsky:
As drivers, we have to be vigilant and pay special attention for motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. When driving on a freeway, you might only look for larger objects, such as cars and trucks. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents on the freeway do happen.
No matter how an accident happened, it’s always best to call a lawyer and sort out your options. Fault isn’t always easy to determine, especially in states like Nevada.
Nevada uses a modified comparative fault system in determining compensation after accidents. Accident victims can recover compensation after an accident, but any compensation awarded will be reduced by the percentage of fault the accident victim bears for the crash. If your level of fault is 50 percent or more, you are generally barred from collecting any compensation for your injuries. Courts apply the comparative fault system when awarding damages. Insurers also use comparative fault as a guide when handling claims.
