Understanding Nevada’s Car Accident Laws

rear end accident

Nevada Is An At-Fault State

Nevada law requires that the party determined to be responsible for causing the vehicle accident must be held liable to pay damages through their insurance company. If they do not carry auto insurance, they will be held personally liable to pay. This is why having an attorney can be incredibly helpful in proving your innocence and getting compensation.

Comparative Negligence Law

Under the comparative negligence law, an injured victim is able to receive compensation even if they are partially responsible for causing the accident. With the help of a qualified injury attorney, the courts must determine which party is more than 50% at fault, thus comparatively more negligent, in order to rule who will be held liable.

Statute Of Limitations For Motor Vehicle Accidents

Under Nevada law, the statute of limitations for filing charges for injury received in a vehicle accident is two years. In some cases, the injuries received are so severe that the victim is unable to pursue a settlement right away. With the help of an attorney and the protection of the statute of limitations, the victim can still seek compensation later.

Situations That Frequently Lead to Taxi Accidents In Reno

Speeding

Speeding deserves special attention as a cause of accidents for taxi drivers, who get paid by the passenger and by the mile. Passengers are in a hurry to get to their destination, and drivers have the motivation to quickly deliver them. When taxi accidents occur because of speeding, they are far more likely to lead to severe injury or fatality.

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving results in an average of nine fatalities and 1,000 injuries across the United States each day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Anything that causes your taxi driver to take his or her eyes, hands, or attention off of the road can lead to an accident. In addition to cell phones, radios, and food, taxi drivers must sometimes deal with distracting passengers who talk too much or have had far too much to drink.

Drunk Driver

Driving under the influence is not only illegal but also dangerous. The Nevada Taxicab Authority (NTA) regulates taxi driver permits and has strict regulations regarding the use of controlled substances. Drivers won’t be able to get permits or can lose their permits when convicted of a DUI, so it’s likely your driver won’t be the cause of the accident. Yet, if another impaired driver plows into the taxi you’re riding in, you potentially face severe injuries.

Following Too Closely

Following too closely remains a common cause of all traffic collisions, but rushed taxi drivers are especially at risk for causing an accident when they tailgate. If the car in front of them makes a quick turn or suddenly stops, they don’t have the time or distance to adequately respond. This often results in a rear-end collision.

Falling Asleep While Driving

Driver fatigue plagues those who drive a taxi full time. Taxi drivers work long hours without limits, putting passengers and others on the road at risk for an accident. Taxi drivers in Reno who work overnight to accommodate casino traffic might also fall victim to drowsy driving.

Reckless & Aggressive Driving

Taxi drivers are known for driving aggressively through highly populated areas. They are often in a rush to drop off their passengers and get to the next paying customer, and may cut off other drivers or cyclists in their hurried frenzy.
