An infant or toddler’s body can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib.

Making The Rental Car Company Pay for Their Uninsured Driver

THE SCENARIO:

Someone hits you while they are driving a rental car. The driver claims he/she does not have any information on them except a copy of their rental agreement. The fact is that most people do not carry, as required by Nevada law, a copy of their auto insurance policy in their rental car. So you take down some information on the rental agreement believing the company will be able to help you. You then find yourself being told by the rental car company that the driver waived the short-term insurance coverage through the rental car company. They also won’t give you any information about the driver. Now you’re not sure if the driver has insurance or not, and even if you could find out, the company is telling you that if they don’t have personal auto insurance you are out of luck because they waived it through them!

THE SOLUTION:

Call (702) 485-6666 and ask your personal injury and accident attorneys at the Martines Law Group, Ltd. to step in. We will make the company find out if the driver had personal auto insurance. How do we do that? By making the company aware of the fact that we will require them to provide coverage for your injuries up to $15,000 per person ($30,000 total for the accident) if they cannot prove the driver was otherwise insured.

In Nevada, if an uninsured driver of a rental car waives insurance coverage through the rental car company, the company is still required to provide insurance coverage for your property damage and injuries!

The Nevada Supreme Court stated in Hall v. Enterprise, “If a rental car customer waives the lessor’s (company’s) short-term liability coverage, thus avoiding the normal premium charge for such coverage, but the customer has no personal liability coverage, the waiver is void and the statutory insurance applies.” 122 Nev. 685 (Nev. 2006).

What does this mean? This means your trust is adequately placed in the hands of your personal injury and accident attorneys at the Martines Law Group, Ltd.
