Logan v. Abe
Annotate this CaseAppellants Robert and Jamie Logan sued Respondents - the owner, operator, and general manager of a hotel - for personal injuries that Robert suffered when he was shot by an employee of the hotel. Before trial, Defendants made an offer of judgment to Appellants offering $55,000 to settle Appellants’ claims. Appellants did not accept this offer. After a trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Defendants. The district court awarded $71,907 in attorney fees and $24,812 in costs to Defendants, concluding that Defendants were entitled to attorney fees and costs under Nev. Rev. Stat. 17.115 and Nev. R. Civ. P. 68 because Appellants failed to improve upon Defendants’ offer of judgment. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorney fees or costs to Defendants under section 17.115 and Rule 68.
