Colt Dodrill (Partner-Phoenix) and Jake Ordorica (Associate-Las Vegas) successfully moved in Nevada’s Clark County District Court to dismiss negligence claims against Wilson Elser’s clients – a car-sharing platform and the vehicle owner. The plaintiff alleged that the clients negligently entrusted the car to a “Doe” driver who hit her vehicle and fled the scene. After opposing counsel refused to voluntarily dismiss our clients, Colt and Jake argued that the shared vehicle driver’s valid license belied the negligent entrustment claim and that such liability does not extend to successive entrustments. Colt and Jake further argued that, under state peer-to-peer car sharing statutes, federal law bars vicarious liability claims. The Court agreed, granting Wilson Elser’s motion two days before the scheduled hearing.
