Colt Dodrill (Partner-Phoenix, AZ) forced a voluntary dismissal of a car share lawsuit in Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court, on behalf of the firm’s client, a car owner. The plaintiff sued our client, who hosted his car on a non-party’s car-sharing platform, for negligently entrusting the vehicle to the at-fault driver. Colt moved to dismiss, arguing that the alleged at-fault driver was not on the reservation and that the law does not impute upon the client the successive entrustment from the authorized driver. The plaintiff opposed, insisting on the right to plead in the alternative and citing different allegations claiming the client had authorized the at-fault driver. Colt argued that the plaintiff may plead in the alternative only when legitimately in doubt as to the true facts, but letters to Plaintiff’s prior counsel confirmed the at-fault driver was not authorized. Five minutes after Wilson Elser’s reply was e-filed, the plaintiff agreed to voluntarily dismiss our client and vacate the motion hearing.
