Nevada Work, Employer & Commercial Vehicle Coverage

• Identify the employer, job duties and business purpose of the trip.
• Determine who owned, leased, maintained or supplied the vehicle.
• Preserve dispatch, route, delivery, expense and timekeeping records.
• Request commercial-auto, business, umbrella and excess policies.

Scope of employment controls employer liability

Nevada respondeat-superior liability generally requires that the employee be acting within the scope of employment when the crash occurs. Control, assigned duties, time and place, and whether the conduct served the employer’s business are central to the analysis.

That tort analysis is separate from insurance layers such as personal auto, commercial auto, hired and non-owned auto, fleet, umbrella, and excess coverage.
