I was hurt in a crash where the other driver cut me off, but I was traveling over the speed limit at the time of the collision. Can I still get money for my injuries?

Nevada law allows accident victims to recover compensation for their injuries even if they were partially responsible for the accident. Motorcyclists can seek damages from the other driver so long as they were not found to be more responsible for the crash than the other driver. In other words, if a judge or jury found that a motorcyclist was 60 percent responsible for a crash, and the driver of the truck that hit him was found 40 percent responsible for the crash, then the motorcyclist would not be able to collect damages.
