Do I have a case? Potential liable parties in off-road accidents:

The first step in determining if you have a claim is understanding the various parties that might be at fault. Here’s a broad overview:

Vehicle owners/rental agencies

If you’ve rented a vehicle that malfunctioned due to poor maintenance or faulty components, the agency could be held responsible.

Property owners

Hazardous conditions on a property can support a claim against the landowner, but NRS 41.510 often stands in the way where the injured person entered or used the premises for participating in a recreational activity: subject to its subsection 3, an owner, lessee or occupant owes no duty to keep the premises safe for entry or use for those purposes, or to give warning of a hazardous condition, and the statute counts riding in vehicles among those activities. Subsection 3(a) says the section does not limit liability that would otherwise exist for a willful or malicious failure to guard, or to warn against, a dangerous condition, use, structure or activity; for injury where permission to participate was granted for a consideration other than any consideration paid to the landowner by the State or a subdivision of it; or for injury caused by acts of persons who were given permission, as to others the person granting it or the owner, lessee or occupant owed a duty to keep the premises safe or to warn of danger. Whether any of those applies to a private trail, park or other venue is a fact question for your attorney.

Manufacturers

In situations where the vehicle’s design or a defective part causes an accident, you might have a case against the manufacturer.

Other riders

Accidents can occur due to the negligence of other riders. If another rider’s recklessness caused your injury, they might be liable.

It’s essential to understand that every situation is unique. The specifics of your accident will significantly influence which party or parties may be held accountable.

Damages: what can I recover?

If you’ve been in an off-road accident, you’re likely facing mounting medical bills, potential property damage, and time off work. It’s crucial to understand what you’re entitled to:

Medical expenses

Covers hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and any future medical costs related to the accident.

Pain and suffering

Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress you’ve endured.

Lost wages

If you’ve had to take time off work or can’t continue in your current job, you might be compensated for lost earnings and potential future income.

Property damage

If your off-road vehicle was damaged, you could claim repairs or the vehicle’s total value if it’s deemed a total loss.

Can I sue? Liability in different scenarios:

Determining if you can take legal action hinges on identifying the responsible parties and the circumstances of the accident.

Rented vs. borrowed vehicles

If you’re injured while operating a rented off-road vehicle due to its malfunction or poor maintenance, the rental agency may be liable. On the other hand, if you borrowed a friend’s vehicle and faced an accident because of their negligence in maintenance, they might be held responsible.

Poorly maintained trails

Suppose the accident occurred due to obstructions, unmaintained trails, or lack of adequate signage in an area where maintenance is expected. In that case, the entity responsible for the upkeep, be it private owners or local authorities, may be held liable. Against a public entity, both of those theories are limited by statute: no action may be based on a failure to inspect a street or other public work, facility or improvement for hazards, whether or not there is a duty to inspect, or on a failure to discover a hazard, whether or not an inspection is made (NRS 41.033), or on the exercise or failure to exercise a discretionary function, whether or not the discretion is abused (NRS 41.032). Where a claim can proceed, an award is capped at $200,000 per claimant with no punitive damages (NRS 41.035), and it must be filed with the Attorney General or the local governing body within two years after it accrues, though that filing is not a condition of suing (NRS 41.036).

Local authorities

If the accident happened in a public space like a state park, and there was negligence like inadequate warnings about hazardous conditions, a claim against the government body is possible but far from straightforward. Nevada has waived its own immunity from liability and action and that of all of its political subdivisions (NRS 41.031), but that waiver is subject to its own exceptions and conditions. No action may be brought based on the exercise or failure to exercise a discretionary function or duty, whether or not the discretion is abused (NRS 41.032), or based on a failure to inspect a public work, facility or improvement to determine any hazards, whether or not there is a duty to inspect, or a failure to discover such a hazard, whether or not an inspection is made (NRS 41.033), and how those provisions apply to a claim about warnings or signage depends on the theory pleaded and the facts. Where a claim can proceed, an award in tort against a public entity may not exceed $200,000 per claimant and may not include punitive damages, a limit the statute applies expressly to actions arising from any recreational activity or recreational use of land or water (NRS 41.035), and the claim must be filed with the Attorney General or the local governing body within two years after it accrues, though that filing is not a condition of suing (NRS 41.036).

Not sure who was at fault?

You do not need to know whether it was the rental agency, the landowner, the manufacturer or another rider before you call. Tell us what happened and Jack will tell you honestly whether it is a case worth bringing, and against whom.

How an attorney can guide you:

Navigating the legal labyrinth of off-road accidents is no easy task. Here’s where a dedicated attorney steps in:

Accident analysis

An attorney can evaluate the circumstances of your accident, identify potential liable parties, and guide you on the viability of your claim.

Paperwork & procedures

From filing a lawsuit to handling intricate documentation, an attorney can keep your paperwork in order and track the deadlines that apply to your claim.

Negotiation & representation

Insurance companies can be challenging to deal with. An attorney can negotiate on your behalf and pursue any compensation that may be available under the facts and the law. Should your case go to trial, they’ll represent and advocate for your rights.

Expert witnesses

In intricate cases, an attorney might bring in expert witnesses, from vehicle mechanics to medical professionals, to solidify your claim.

Why trust Jack with your offroad accident claim?

In off-road vehicle accidents, nuances can be many and liability, a complex maze. Here’s why Jack’s 40+ years of experience make a difference:

Experience and expertise

Since 1983, Jack Bernstein has a proven track record of successfully representing clients in accident cases, recovering millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements.

Comprehensive legal support

Our commitment to your success goes beyond just legal representation. We have a network of trusted professionals, including accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists, and investigators, who can help strengthen your case.

Tailored approach

No two off-road accidents are the same. Jack develops a bespoke strategy for each client, aligning with the unique aspects of their case.

Direct consultation

When you trust Jack with your case, you’re not just another file. You get direct access to him, ensuring clear communication and hands-on guidance.

Challenges with off-road claims:

Multiple liable parties

From vehicle manufacturers to trail maintenance teams, multiple entities might be at fault. Identifying and proving their liability is a meticulous process.

Government immunity

If your accident happened on government property, the doctrine of sovereign immunity might come into play, adding layers to your legal journey.

Evidence gathering

Proving negligence, especially in areas with minimal supervision like trails, can be challenging. Timely and thorough evidence collection is paramount.

Mistakes to avoid in off-road claims:

Delay in seeking medical attention

Your well-being comes first. Ensure timely medical intervention, both for health and to solidify your claim.

Not reporting the accident

Whether it’s to the park authority, rental agency, or the vehicle owner, report the accident promptly.

Handling claims alone

Off-road accident claims can be intricate. Without legal guidance, you risk undervaluing your claim or missing crucial steps.

How much does it cost to get an attorney?

At Jack Bernstein Injury Lawyers, our principle is clear: You don’t pay unless we win. We operate on a contingency fee basis. This means:

No upfront fees

You won’t be billed just to get started.

Transparent process

We’ll walk you through potential costs and how they relate to potential compensation.

Shared success

Our fee is a percentage of the compensation we secure for you. If there’s no compensation, there’s no fee.

Local laws you should be aware of:

Las Vegas, and Nevada at large, have specific laws concerning off-road vehicles:

Safety regulations

All off-road vehicles must adhere to specific safety standards. Violations by rental agencies or individual owners can be pivotal in a claim.

Trail restrictions

Certain trails are restricted based on vehicle type or time of year. Ignorance or miscommunication of these regulations can lead to accidents.

Liability waivers

Rental agencies often have you sign a waiver before you ride. How much of your claim a signed waiver actually bars depends on its wording and on what went wrong, so do not assume it ends the matter and do not assume it covers everything. Bring the paperwork to a lawyer and have it read.

What qualifies as an off-road vehicle?

An off-road vehicle, often referred to as an ORV or ATV, includes dirt bikes, dune buggies, UTVs, and more. They’re designed primarily for off-highway use on terrains like dunes, dirt trails, and rocky paths.

I was injured on a rental off-road vehicle. Who's responsible?

If the vehicle was faulty or lacked proper safety equipment, the rental agency could be liable. However, liability might shift based on the rental agreement, your actions, or if another party was involved.

Can I sue if I was hurt on a public trail?

Potentially, but a claim against the managing entity (city, state, or county) is limited by statute. No action may be based on a failure to inspect a street or other public work, facility or improvement for hazards, whether or not there is a duty to inspect, or on a failure to discover a hazard, whether or not an inspection is made (NRS 41.033), or on the exercise or failure to exercise a discretionary function, whether or not the discretion is abused (NRS 41.032). Where a claim can proceed, a tort award arising from recreational use of public land is capped at $200,000 per claimant with no punitive damages (NRS 41.035), and the claim must be filed with the Attorney General or the local governing body within two years after it accrues, though that filing is not a condition of suing (NRS 41.036). Whether a trail maintenance or signage theory is actionable in your case is a question for your attorney.

My friend let me borrow their ATV, and I got injured. Can I file a claim?

Yes, but it’s complex. If the ATV was malfunctioning and your friend was aware, they might be liable. However, personal relationships can complicate the claim process.

How do I determine the value of my claim?

Claim value depends on medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. An attorney can help assess these factors to estimate the worth.

Which off-road rules applied where I was riding?

It depends on the location. Riding near Las Vegas can put you under state vehicle rules, the rules the agency that manages the land has set for the trails you were on, or a city or county park’s own rules, and much of the open desert riding here happens outside city limits. Rather than assume which set applied, we identify the rules for the place you were hurt and whether any of them bear on your claim.

Why should I trust Jack Bernstein Injury Lawyers with my off-road accident claim?

With over four decades of legal experience, Jack Bernstein has an unparalleled understanding of Las Vegas’s legal landscape. Our firm’s commitment is clear: “Jack’s got your back!”

What common mistakes should I avoid after an off-road accident?

Don’t admit fault, always seek medical attention, document everything, and consult with an attorney before speaking to insurance agencies.

Can I claim if the accident was partly my fault?

Nevada uses a modified comparative negligence system (NRS 41.141). You can still claim compensation if you’re partially at fault, as long as your negligence was not greater than the negligence of the defendant, or the combined negligence of the defendants you are suing. The amount is reduced in proportion to your share of the fault, and if your share is greater than theirs, you recover nothing.

I think I have a case for my off-road accident, what do I do next?

“We are incredibly grateful to Jack Bernstein Injury Lawyers for helping us successfully settle our injury claim with AAA after we were rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light. A very special thank you goes to our case manager, Monique, and our fantastic attorney, Ines. Monique was kind, patient, responsive, and helped keep the case moving while we were dealing with the stress, pain, and medical treatment that followed the accident. She made us feel heard and cared for throughout the process. Ines was absolutely outstanding. She understood the details of our case, advocated strongly for us, and made sure the insurance company was held to the standards required under Nevada law. That mattered a lot to us. Insurance companies do not always make the process easy, but Ines made sure our claim was taken seriously and that AAA could not simply minimize what happened or ignore its obligations. What stood out most was that Monique and Ines treated our case like it mattered. They were professional, compassionate, and persistent, and their work helped bring the case to a successful settlement. We truly appreciate everything Jack Bernstein Injury Lawyers did for us, especially Monique and Ines. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone injured in an accident who needs a team that will fight for them and make sure the insurance company is held accountable.”

Johnny Dortch June 24th, 2026

“In January I got hit on the freeway which resulted in my car being totaled and ruptured 3 of spinal discs which I was unaware of at the time. I started looking for an injury lawyer and decided on Jack Bernstein as I didn’t have to pay money up front. The first thing they did was send me to a chiropractor which they had connections with I got 3 appointments they also sent me to radiology to get an MRI about 2 months into my treatment which is when they discovered that I had ruptured 3 spinal discs in my lower back. From there they referred me to pain management where they gave me spinal injections to alleviate some of my pain. The best part about all of this is that I didn’t have to pay out of pocket for anything. My case handler Zulie was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process and helped me to fully understand what was happening with my case as it was happening. Due to help from Jack Bersteins office I was able to get the treatment I needed to make a full recovery, a brand new car, and over $65,000 without paying a dime out of pocket! I would highly recommend anyone in a similar situation to hire Jack Bernstein as their Injury Lawyer.”
