Whether Plaintiff Emely Portillo’s alleged damages, if any, are attributable to 18 medical conditions that pre-existed the accident. 19 12.

Plaintiff Eva Portillo’s efforts to mitigate her alleged damages. 19 VI. 20 The following are the issues of law to be tried and determined at trial: 21 1. Duty of Care. Generally, everyone has a duty to exercise reasonable care when 22 their conduct creates a risk of physical harm to others. Nev. J.I. 4.3. Negligence is the failure to 23 exercise the degree of care which an ordinarily careful and prudent person would exercise under 24 1 the same or similar circumstances. Id. Ordinary care is care which persons of ordinary prudence 2 would exercise in the management of their own affairs to avoid injury to themselves or to 3 others. Id. The issues as to duty are: 4 a. Whether the parties owed a duty of care. 5 2. Proximate Cause. A proximate cause of injury, damage, loss, or harm is a cause 6 which, in natural and continuous sequence, produces the injury, damage, loss, or harm, and 7 without which the injury, damage, loss, or harm, would not have occurred. Nev. J.I. 4.4. The 8 issues as to causation are: 9 a. Whether a breach in the duty of care proximately caused the accident. 10 3. Comparative Negligence. A plaintiff may not recover damages if their 11 comparative negligence has contributed more to their injury than the negligence of the 12 defendant. Nev. J.I. 4.8. However, if the plaintiff is negligent, the plaintiff may still recover a 13 reduced sum, so long as their comparative negligence was not greater than the negligence of the 14 defendant. Id. The issues as to comparative negligence are: 15 a. Whether Plaintiff(s) were negligent (and if so, by what percentage). 16 b. Whether Plaintiff’s negligence was a substantial factor in causing their own 17 harm. 18 c. Does Plaintiff’s percentage of negligence exceed the negligence of Losee, if any, 19 barring recovery pursuant to NRS 41.141.(1). 20 d. The percentage of negligence attributable to the Plaintiff shall reduce the amount 21 of such recovery by the proportionate amount of such negligence and the 22 reduction will be made by the Court. 23 4. Damages. In determining losses, if any, suffered by the Plaintiff as a proximate 24 1 (legal) cause of the accident, the Court must take into consideration the nature, extent and 2 duration from the evidence and decide upon a sum to reasonably and fairly compensate: (a) 3 reasonable and necessary medical expenses incurred in the past; (b) reasonable and necessary 4 medical expenses to incur in the future as a result of the accident; (c) lost earnings that were 5 incurred and future earnings that are reasonably certain to have been lost in the future; (d) pain 6 and suffering; (e) loss of household services. See Nev. J.I. 5.1. Additional issues for the Court’s 7 determination are: 8 a. Whether Plaintiff’s injuries, if any, were caused by pre-existing medical 9 conditions that existed prior to the accident. [A person who has a condition or 10 disability at the time of the injury is not entitled to recover damages therefor. See 11 Nev. J.I. 5.3.] 12 b. Whether Plaintiff mitigated her alleged damages. 13 VII. 14 (a) The following exhibits are stipulated into evidence in this case and may be so marked by the clerk: 15 Stipulated Exhibits Agreed To By Parties United States of America and Tameia City1 16 1.
