Complicating a personal injury matter is the event of another accident, often within a very close time frame of each other. In Nevada, the Klietz v. Raskin Case, controls. Here, the law basically states that when a tortfeasor, or accident victim, has an accident in close proximity to another, if the damages are not apportionable (e.g. the same back injuries that are indistinguishable) than the burden shifts from the plaintiff to the defendants to figure out the damages. For example, if a tractor trailer rear ends a Ford Taurus and causes the driver to sustain a cervical injury on May 1, 2008, and then on May 10th, 2008 the driver is again rear ended by a truck and aggravates the same cervical injury, then the burden is completely up to the Defendants to figure out who is responsible for the neck injury.
