Nevada operates under what is known as a comparative negligence fault structure. This means that if two or more parties are at fault, a court can determine how much blame can be placed on each of them, and damages are adjusted accordingly.
It is important to remember that even if another driver claims not to have seen you or that your speed was deceptive, you are still not at fault in the accident. Nevada law requires that all vehicles yield the right of way to oncoming traffic when turning left at a place where no lights, stop signs, or other traffic signals are involved.

Negligent drivers aren’t the only ones who have a duty of care. Car manufacturers also owe a duty of care to those who will be using their cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles on public roads. This duty of care extends to the person who purchases the vehicle and to anyone inside the vehicle when a serious accident occurs. But this legal duty of care also extends to anyone else who suffers a serious injury as a result of someone driving a defective vehicle.
The injured victims in this wreck are probably concerned with the cost of medical expenses, the severity of their injuries, and who was at fault. This accident probably ruined their trip and being involved in a car crash is an extremely traumatic event.
