Colt B. Dodrill (Of Counsel-Phoenix, AZ) and Jon Carlston (Of Counsel-Las Vegas, NV) prevailed on a motion to dismiss in Nevada state court in a negligent entrustment action against Wilson Elser’s clients, a peer-to-peer car-sharing program and the shared vehicle’s owners. The plaintiff’s luxury tour bus suffered extensive property damage after a hit-and-run accident with the shared vehicle. Although it was unclear whether an authorized driver or car thief was behind the wheel, Colt and Jon argued that common law does not recognize successive entrustments. In an issue of first impression, Colt successfully navigated Nevada’s recently enacted car-sharing statutes to convince the court that the clients need not investigate whether a license displayed by the authorized driver was valid. Colt also convinced the court that the client’s insurance required by the new statutes was not the plaintiff’s ticket to impose vicarious liability. Colt also argued that joint and several liability under the old car rental statutes took a backseat to the new peer-to-peer car-sharing statutes. In addition, Colt argued that amending the complaint and allowing discovery would be futile. The court agreed and dismissed all claims against the client. This decision saved the client from significant exposure, burdensome discovery, and substantial costs and legal fees.
