Give a name, address and the registration number of the vehicle, and on request show a driver's license, to anyone injured and to the other driver or the person attending the property.
Give the same information, and on request hand over the license, to a police officer at the scene or investigating.
Render reasonable assistance to anyone injured, including carrying or arranging to carry them for treatment when it is apparently needed or they ask.
With no officer present, report a crash with an injury or death, or one on a highway, to the nearest police authority or the Nevada Highway Patrol.

NRS 484E.020

The written report, within 10 days. Where a crash injures or kills someone, or does apparent damage of $750 or more to any vehicle or property, the driver forwards a written or electronic report to the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days, unless a police officer investigated and the officer's report contains each person's insurer, policy number and coverage dates. The report is confidential and may not be used as evidence in a trial arising out of the crash.

NRS 484E.070

Each person hurt or killed is a separate offense of failing to stop. The owner reports when the driver is physically incapable of it. The penalties for failing to report and the police report rules are in other sections, not reproduced here. Applying them to a particular crash is for a court and a licensed Nevada attorney.
