How to use this library before making a final claim decision
Build the claim map first, then select the Nevada guide that answers the next question. Keep liability claims, first-party benefits and medical reimbursement separate in your records.
Identify drivers, owners, possible employers, every claimant and the vehicle’s use. Read Guide 13, Guide 15 or Guide 16 when those circumstances apply.
Use Guide 03 and Guide 05. Collect declarations, endorsements and offer/selection records. An obligation to offer coverage is not the same as proof of the benefits actually purchased.
Use Guide 18 for reports, photographs, video, witnesses, vehicle data and medical chronology. Keep a separate deadline calendar and preserve the insurer’s written explanations for use with Guide 09.
Review Guide 21 and Guide 22 with the actual policy, case-authority library and official sources. Identify remaining coverage and reimbursement issues before deciding what a release will end.
