General Liability Insurance in Nevada

Nevada permits recovery when claimant fault is not greater than the defendant’s or defendants’ combined fault; damages are reduced by the claimant’s share. In ordinary multi-defendant negligence cases, each defendant is liable for its assigned share, with statutory exceptions for categories including concerted conduct, toxic exposure, and product liability. 1

What Is General Liability?

General liability can protect your business when a customer or visitor claims you caused injury or damaged their property. It suits businesses serving customers or working on their premises; your own building, tools and stock need property coverage. Read the national General liability guide.

What to Watch for in Nevada

  • A Fault Tie Does Not Bar Recovery

    NRS 41.141 allows recovery when the claimant’s negligence is not greater than the defendants’ combined negligence, but reduces damages by the claimant’s share. Ask what evidence is needed to identify all potentially responsible parties before a claim is resolved. 1

  • Ordinary Negligence Usually Stays Several

    For multiple defendants, NRS 41.141 generally makes each defendant liable only for its allocated share. The statute preserves joint-and-several liability, if otherwise applicable, for strict liability, intentional torts, toxic or hazardous releases, concerted acts, and product claims; ask whether any pleaded theory falls within an exception. 1

  • Personal Injury and Property Damage Use Different Periods

    NRS 11.190 lists a two-year period for injury to a person or wrongful death and a three-year period for taking, detaining, or injuring personal property. Exceptions and accrual rules apply, so separate bodily-injury and property-loss allegations before setting a litigation timeline. 2

Who Regulates Insurance in Nevada

Nevada Division of Insurance

The Nevada Division of Insurance regulates insurers and producers and provides a license verification tool for agents, agencies and companies. Its Consumer Services unit accepts insurance complaints and questions. 3,4,5

Surplus-lines tax and stamping office

Reported tax rate: Same tax rate as admitted coverage of the same kind; an approved filing fee may also apply When Nevada is the insured’s home state, Nevada taxes surplus-lines coverage at the rate imposed on similar admitted coverage and adds any approved filing fee; the rate therefore depends on the line and applicable fee approval. Nevada law requires a diligent effort to place coverage with authorized insurers except where the statutory exempt-commercial-purchaser conditions apply, and the policy must warn that the Nevada Insurance Guaranty Association will not cover the contract. 6,7,8,9

Providers With Documented State Licenses

These providers publish a national listing for General liability; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Nevada. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

  • CorgiCorgi Insurance Services, Inc.Insurance producer · checked 2026-09-28Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there. The company-reported table has no stated as-of date and does not establish product availability. 12
  • ERGO NEXT InsuranceNext First Insurance Agency, Inc.Insurance producer · checked 2026-09-28ERGO NEXT’s current license table lists Next First Insurance Agency, Inc. in 50 jurisdictions, including Washington, DC; New York is excluded because its table rows name Next Insurance Services and AP Intego, not Next First. The table is company-reported; it does not establish product availability or provide state-regulator verification for each entry. 14
  • HiscoxHiscox Insurance Company Inc.Insurer · checked 2026-09-28Hiscox’s U.S. company information states that Hiscox Insurance Company Inc. is licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This is company-reported insurer authority for this entity and does not establish which company issues every Hiscox-branded product. 13
  • TechInsuranceSpecialty Program Group LLCInsurance producer · checked 2026-09-28TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. 15
  • VouchVouch Specialty Insurance Services, LLCInsurance producer, Surplus-lines broker · checked 2026-09-28Vouch’s licenses page, effective January 16, 2025, lists producer licenses in all 50 states and DC. Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses. Because those statements conflict for Idaho, this record keeps Idaho producer-only and does not treat the table number as established agency surplus-lines authority. The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability. 16
