The Elements for a Claim of Concert of Action

In Nevada, the elements for a claim of concert of action are:

  1. Two or more persons act together while committing a tort pursuant to a common design or plan; and
  2. Liability attaches for the tort of concert of action when two people commit a tort while “acting in concert with one another or pursuant to a common design.” (Proof of an agreement alone is insufficient, as the conduct of each tortfeasor must be individually tortuous);
  3. Causation and damages.

GES, Inc. v. Corbitt, 117 Nev. 265, 21 P.3d 11 (Nev. 2001); Halbertam v. Welch, 705 F.2d 472, 489 (D.C. Cir. 1983); Dow Chem. Co. v.
