Nevada bus and transit accident claims: what you should know

Bus and transit claims can involve public agencies, private contractors and commercial insurers, each with different rules. You might be a passenger hurt in a crash or a sudden stop, a driver hit by a bus, or a pedestrian or cyclist struck by one.

Claims involving government agencies

When a government agency is responsible, Nevada law limits damages to $200,000 per person and doesn't allow punitive damages (NRS 41.035). Many transit services are operated by private contractors, which may be subject to different rules. Figuring out exactly who operated the vehicle is one of the first things More Money Morales does.

Higher duty to passengers

Companies that carry passengers for hire are generally expected to use a high degree of care for their passengers' safety. Sudden stops, falls while boarding, doors closing on riders and crashes can all lead to claims.

Types of vehicles

  • RTC city buses and the Deuce on the Strip
  • Hotel, casino and airport shuttles
  • Tour and charter buses
  • School buses
  • The Las Vegas Monorail and other transit

Nevada uses modified comparative negligence (NRS 41.141). You can still recover money if you were partly at fault, as long as you weren't more at fault than the other side. Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. Insurance adjusters know this rule well, which is why they look for ways to put blame on you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sue the RTC or another government agency?

Often, yes, but special rules apply, including a $200,000 per-person cap on damages. It's important to identify the right agency or contractor early.

I was hurt on a hotel or airport shuttle. Who is responsible?

Usually the company that operates the shuttle and its insurer. More Money Morales investigates who owned and operated the vehicle.

I fell when the bus stopped suddenly. Do I have a claim?

Possibly. Carriers must use a high degree of care for passengers. Report the incident and get medical care right away.

How long do I have to file a bus accident claim in Nevada?

Nevada generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (NRS 11.190). Property damage claims generally have three years. Some claims, like those against government agencies, have extra rules, so it's best not to wait.

How much does it cost to hire More Money Morales?

Nothing upfront. There's no attorney's fee and no case costs unless we recover money for you.
