Comment on The Rise of Yamaha Rhino Accidents by Alivia Myers

My mother also has circhossis and autoimmune hepatitis. The doctor prescribed prednison 20 mg to her and after a couple of months she was prescribed again another medication which is mercaptopurine. After 2 weeks of taking mercaptopurine she was rushed to the ER again and they say she had sepsis infection. She was in hospital from June2 and release June 4 and they say she has sepsis infection and ok to discharge, after 3 days we come again to ER and the following day she died and they told us that she has septic shock. I read the mercaptopurine is for patient with leukemia and my mother has no cancer. Its a chemotherapy drug. From what I read patient taking steriod and chemotherapy drugs are susceptible for sepsis infection. Do I have a case. Thanks

I am unaware of any law that requires such precision of the driver. As long as the driver uses caution and yields to the pedestrian, a driver may U-turn or drive through the cross-walk as long as he is obeying other traffic devices. We call this the duty of reasonable care.

My legal opinion is yes. The pedestrian has the right of way in a cross walk irrespective of how many lanes of travel.

Must a car wait until a pedestrian has fully exited the crosswalk before proceeding or if the driver’s lane is clear (the pedestrian has crossed the driver’s lane already) can the driver proceed through the crosswalk? Also, we have a lot of roads here in Washoe county where they are four lanes and a narrow grass median. If a driver is required by law to wait for a pedestrian to fully exit the crosswalk does this apply to these 4 lane roads with a median?

Comment on Rental Car Insurance Coverage In Nevada by jbenson

jbenson — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 23:06:00 +0000

No they sold you stuff you likely didn’t need. Often, your own insurance company will give you coverage. There is usually no need to have double coverage. Under Nevada Law, AVIS and others are automatically liable for $15,000 in bodily injury coverage. The policy that they tend to sell just mirrors this mandatory coverage. Where the coverage may be a benefit is in the event the car is wrecked. The property damage is usually handled 100%–so if you have a large deductible on your own policy you may want to purchase, however, I highly discourage taking the additional unnecessary coverage.

Cars must yield to pedestrians in a cross walk.

A quick reminder to the attorney that you intend to make a bar complaint will usually get him to prepare an Order to have the funds released.
