There are typically two ways a driver can recover compensation (given they are entitled to it) after being injured in a car wreck—the first deals with the insurance company, and the second deals with the courts.
Insurance companies are expected to cover certain expenses that arise as a result of an accident and to do so in a timely manner. Unlike some states that require drivers to file a claim with their own insurance carrier, Nevada follows a fault-based system. This means that the driver who causes an accident is generally responsible for covering the resulting damages and injuries.
If another driver caused the crash that left you injured, you have the right to file a third-party insurance claim with their provider. This process allows you to seek compensation under the at-fault driver’s policy rather than your own. However, determining fault after an accident isn’t always straightforward. Collisions on busy local roads, such as South Rainbow Boulevard, Flamingo Road, or near Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, often involve multiple vehicles, making liability disputes more complex.
