Legal Question in Insurance Law in Nevada

truck accident

I was injured in a rollover accident

while driving a company water truck.

The cause of the rollover was due to

no brakes from a leak in the air

system. I am under the impression

that in Nevada, I can't sue my

employer due to workmen's comp

law, however, shouldn't I be entitled

to compensation from my employer's

auto insurance carrier? Thanks.

Re: truck accident

The worker's compensation bar may extend to the employer's automobile liability insurance carrier, if such coverage even applies in the first place. However, an independent products liability claim against the manufacturer of any defective or unreasonably dangerous vehicle or brake system might not likewise be barred.

Your attorney can explain further.
