In Nevada, how much can a plaintiff recover if they are found 50% at fault?

In Nevada, when a plaintiff is found to be 50% at fault for their injuries, they may recover damages, but the total amount they can recover is reduced by their percentage of fault. This principle follows the doctrine of comparative negligence, which dictates that damages awarded to a plaintiff will be reduced in proportion to their share of responsibility for the incident.

If a plaintiff is deemed 50% at fault, they are essentially liable for half of the cause of their injuries, which means they can only recover 50% of the total damages that would have been awarded if there were no fault attributed to them. Thus, if the total damages assessed were, for example, $100,000, the plaintiff would be entitled to recover $50,000.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the legal standard in Nevada regarding comparative negligence. No recovery would occur if the plaintiff were found to be 51% or more at fault, while recovering 100% or any other percentage greater than 50% does not align with the law, as the recovery should always correlate directly with the percentage of fault determined.
