Bill overview
This bill significantly alters civil actions in Nevada by removing existing provisions regarding ‘vicarious liability,’ which held employers responsible for employee actions. It reduces liability to the individual causing the injury, repeals limitations on employer liability, and modifies how comparative negligence is assessed in lawsuits. The bill also abolishes the ‘collateral source rule,’ limiting medical expenses to amounts already covered by insurance, and restricts attorney fees in Nevada’s Industrial Insurance Act. These changes aim to streamline the legal process and clarify responsibility for damages.
