Outcome
The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the district court's dismissal of the Schwartses' civil conspiracy claim for failure to file a supporting medical expert affidavit as required by NRS 41A.071. The court found that the conspiracy claim was based on alleged medical malpractice and thus required expert affidavit support.

However, this case serves as a reminder that healthcare workers and other employees have legal options when they believe their workplace rights have been violated. Employment law cases can involve issues like discrimination, wrongful termination, wage disputes, or workplace safety concerns.
