Case Synopsis
The Nevada Supreme Court was asked to decide whether: (1) the district court properly concluded that Vivaldi Park is covered by Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 41.510; (2) Abbott’s activities qualified as recreational activities; and (3) that Henderson did not intentionally create a hazard constituting willful conduct.
Under NRS 41.510, there are no land-type limitations on the properties protected from liability, and playground activities qualify as recreational activity under the statute. Furthermore, landowners can only be held liable for injuries caused on the landowner’s property if the landowner acted willfully and maliciously by not alerting the recreational user of a hazard on the property.
