Nevada is known for the glittering casinos of Las Vegas. But the state is so much more than casinos and glitz. It is a land of deserts and mountains, long country roads that characterize the American west, and vast open spaces. It is also a state with vibrant cosmopolitan centers. With such diverse roads, it is no surprise that Nevada sees its fair share of crashes. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Nevada residents lose an estimated $356 million each year due to car crash deaths. However, these numbers don’t begin to account for the other financial losses resulting from crash injuries. Not all injuries are sustained by passenger vehicle riders. Bus riders can also suffer serious injuries in Nevada. In fact, bus accidents can be more dangerous due to the large size of the buses and due to the fact that some buses don’t come equipped with seat belts.
RTC Transit serves Las Vegas and is run by the government. If you have been injured while riding RTC or due to a collision with an RTC bus, it is important to understand your rights. You may be entitled to seek damages for your medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, because RTC is run by the government, you may be required to make your claim under Nevada’s sovereign immunity laws. According to Cornell Law, the principle of sovereign immunity states that individuals are not permitted to sue the government without the government’s consent. Fortunately, under Nevada law, the state waives its right to sovereign immunity. However, individuals must abide by the state’s rules for filing claims against the government. This includes informing the Attorney General about the lawsuit. Because the process of filing a claim against a Nevada bus system can be complicated, it may be wise to speak to a qualified bus accident attorney to assist you with the process.
