SB 363 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing civil actions. (BDR 3-1017)

SB 363 revises Nevada civil liability laws by removing employer liability for employee actions (replacing vicarious liability with direct liability for the person causing injury), changing comparative negligence rules to allow broader consideration of all fault (including nonparties), and abolishing the collateral source rule for most personal injury cases (limiting medical expense damages to insurance coverage). It also updates workers' compensation to cap attorney fees at 20% of lump-sum payments. The bill directly affects plaintiffs, defendants, employers, and medical providers in injury litigation. These changes aim to simplify liability determinations and reduce litigation complexity in civil cases.
