The responsibility of who pays what in Nevada is contingent on who’s at-fault in an auto accident. All drivers in Nevada have an obligation to drive their automobiles safely to reduce any risks of potential accidents. In Nevada, if you are the at-fault driver (the person that caused the accident), then you are responsible to “make whole” the individual or property you hit.
The insurance company and the at-fault driver may be responsible to pay for the damages to the victim’s car, any property damage, lost wages, and injuries (medical bills). The insurance company of the at fault driver would be responsible for the damages caused, UP TO THE LIMIT of their insurance policy. Once the limits of the policy have been exhausted, the at fault driver could be held responsible or get sued to pay the remainder.
If the victim that got hit has “UM/UIM” (uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist), on their policy, this coverage may pick up what the at-fault drivers’ policy lacks. UM/UIM is not required by law to have in Nevada. Underinsured and uninsured motorist means your auto insurance company will cover you for accidents you didn’t cause that the other party didn’t have enough coverage for, or in the event of a hit and run.
All drivers are required by law in Nevada to stop at the scene of an accident. It’s important to exchange insurance information and call the police or fire and rescue if someone is hurt. We recommend taking pictures of damages, reporting the number of people involved, and reporting the details of the accident to the insurance company as soon as possible.
Again, Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist in Nevada is NOT required, however, it is a great addition to your policy.

Generally speaking, anyone who lives with you that has a drivers license – whether they’re a member of your family or not – is considered by your insurer to be a member of your household. College students away from home without a vehicle aren’t required to be on a policy, and could be a “permissive” driver.
If your auto insurance policy has comprehensive coverage, then you will be financially compensated for your stolen vehicle.
This Medical Loss Ratio states that when a family or individual buys a medical plan, 80% of every dollar collected and paid to an insurance company MUST pay medical claims/research. So that leaves the insurance company to pay ALL of their expenses with the remaining 20%. .20 cents on the dollar for their employees, buildings, broker costs, etc.
