While small cracks in car windshields may not appear to be much more than cosmetic issues, they can cause motor vehicle accidents and may raise the risk of serious injuries in a crash. It is important for people to get windshield damage repaired as soon as possible. A car’s windshield helps protect the occupants in front-end collisions and serves an important role in the proper deployment of side airbags. People who are involved in rollover accidents are also likelier to suffer injuries when their windshields are cracked.

Nevada personal injury law includes a subcategory that covers intentional torts, which are wrongful actions that cause harm to others and that are done purposefully. Unlike actions that are the result of negligence, intentional torts must include an element of intent. Many intentional torts may be prosecuted criminally in addition to civil actions that may be filed against the defendants. There are several types of intentional torts, including fraud, assault, battery, conversion, trespassing, and false imprisonment.
