What to do when Multiple Accidents occur | ||||||||||||||||
When a Client has More Than One Accident Complicating
a personal injury accident is the event of another accident, often within a very
close time frame of each other. In Nevada, the Klietz case, controls. Here, the
law basically states that when a tortfeasor, or accident victim, has an accident
in close proximity to another accident, if the damages are not apportionable (e.g.
the same back injuries that are undistinguishable) than the burden shifts from
the plaintiff to the defendants to figure out the damages. For example, if a tractor
trailer rear ends a Ford Taurus and causes the driver to sustain a cervical injury
on May 1, 2008, and then on May 10th, 2008 the driver is again rear ended by a
truck and aggravates the same cervical injury, then the burden is completely up
to the Defendants to figure out who is responsible for the neck injury. Contact
