Nevins v. Martyn, 140 Nev. Adv. Op. 66 (Oct. 17, 2024)

The Nevada Supreme Court issued four pertinent rules. First, a court may not award attorney fees exceeding the limit outlined in NRS 7.095. Second, the 2015 amendments to NRS 41A.035(1) apply retroactively to cap a professional entity health care provider’s damages at the same level as its principal. Third, the 2015 amendments to NRS 41A.035(3), barring res ipsa loquitur instructions when a plaintiff uses an expert witness, do not apply retroactively. Fourth, NRCP 68(f)(1)(B) and NRS 18.005 may be applied concurrently to assess an attorney fee award.
