Cromer v. Wilson

OPINION

By the Court,

Douglas, J.:

Appellant Aaron Cromer received a jury verdict of $4,530,785.50 as a result of injuries he sustained in a car crash caused by respondent William Wilson. On appeal, Aaron and his wife Felicia Cromer raise several issues, only one of which merits detailed consideration. The Cromers contend that the district court should have granted summary judgment on the issue of liability because NRS 41.133 allows a judgment of conviction to conclusively establish civil liability for a crime and should have precluded Wilson from arguing comparative fault pursuant to NRS 41.141.
