Don’t Worry, You Have Auto Insurance
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.

Does Auto Insurance Cover Riots?
No one wants to be victims of property damage resulting from rioting, and fortunately, auto insurance companies already have provisions for this risk in their coverage options. In fact, there is no need to purchase separate riot, vandalism and civil commotion coverage; if you have comprehensive auto insurance, you most likely have this coverage.

Why You Should Avoid a Lapse in Auto Insurance Coverage
n Nevada, auto insurance companies notify the Department of Motor Vehicles when you drop your auto insurance policy. If you have a lapse in your auto insurance coverage, even 1 day, it will be noted on your driving record. When this happens, you may be faced with a $250 dollar fine that will go up over time, and you can have your license suspended until you have auto insurance coverage again.
