Dodrill and Ashbeck Bring Negligent Entrustment Claim to a Screeching Halt

Colt Dodrill (Partner-Phoenix, AZ) and Jeffrey Ashbeck (Associate-Las Vegas, NV) secured a car share lawsuit dismissal from the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, on behalf of Wilson Elser’s clients, a car-sharing platform and the vehicle owner. The plaintiff sued our clients for injuries sustained in an automobile accident. The clients had reserved the car share for a specific driver, but the plaintiff alleged a different driver was behind the wheel at the time of the accident. Colt and Jeff moved to dismiss, arguing that negligent entrustment does not recognize successive entrustments to strangers not named on the reservation. The court agreed that the law does not skip a generation, kicking the claim to the curb. The plaintiff tried to circumvent the rule against vicarious liability by alleging a failure to provide statutorily mandated insurance. However, Colt and Jeff held firm and convinced the plaintiff not proceed with further briefing after proving that the prescribed policies had been properly provided.
