Nevada’s Self-Driving Car Regulations
Nevada requires companies testing or operating self-driving vehicles to maintain a minimum $5 million insurance policy or bond. While self-driving cars can operate autonomously, a licensed driver must be present and ready to take control in emergencies. Compliance with these laws is essential to ensure public safety. If the company or driver fails to meet these standards, we can file a claim for their negligence, and they can be held accountable for your injuries.
Comparative Fault in Autonomous Vehicle Accidents
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially at fault. If your fault is determined to be more than 50%, you may not recover damages at all.
For instance, if a pedestrian involved in an autonomous vehicle accident was jaywalking, the court might assign them partial fault, reducing their compensation accordingly.
