El inicio de la temporada de huracanes en el Atlántico ha sido, en gran medida, muy tranquilo, y no parece que esa situación vaya a cambiar pronto.

Storms forming in the Atlantic’s main development region tend to dominate most hurricane seasons, but this year we’ll be watching a little farther north

Nevada's Supreme Court has overruled Capriati Construction Corp. v. Yahyavi , 137 Nev. 675, 498 P.3d 226 (2021) to the extent it holds that a plaintiff represented on a contingency fee may recover the entire contingency fee if an offer of judgment is beaten. In Clark v. Marin , 142 Nev. Adv. Op. 47 (July 2, 2026), Marin sued Clark for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Marin served Clark a $2 million offer of judgment 24 days before trial. The jury's verdict totaled $2,045,117.55. Offers of judgment under NRCP 68 are a powerful tool, allowing a plaintiff to serve an offer of judgment and recover post-offer attorneys' fees if the plaintiff recovers more than was offered. The verdict here, plus prejudgment interest and taxable costs, produced a judgment that exceeded $2 million, so the plaintiff moved for attorneys' fees.
