What is a common carrier in Nevada? In U.S. law, a common carrier is any private or public entity that charges a fee for transporting people or goods from one place to another. However, due to the size of these carriers, accidents involving these vehicles often yield more severe injuries. If you are injured during transport and the carrier is found to be negligent, the carrier may be liable for your damages. However, you must prove negligence to hold the carrier responsible.
Who is eligible for workers' compensation? Workers who suffer job-related injuries can claim workers' compensation benefits to pay for medical bills and lost wages.
If you are injured due to the careless conduct of an individual or a private organization in Nevada, you may file a personal injury lawsuit in the state's civil courts. However, if the accident was caused by the negligence of a government agency or employee, you need to follow rules for filing injury claims against federal or state governments in Nevada.
The consequences of wrong-way accidents can be fatal, and far-reaching, for victims and their families. The streets and highways in Nevada are designed so that traffic flows together. When a driver goes against this flow, it can have dire effects for him or her, as well as for those with whom the road is shared.
