Truck accidents in Las Vegas often result from preventable errors. Knowing how they occur helps identify liability and strengthen your claim.
Truck accidents in Las Vegas often involve rear-end or side-impact collisions caused by close following or lane errors, rollovers from speeding or sharp turns, jackknife crashes due to sudden braking or slick roads, and wide-turn collisions when drivers misjudge space or overlook blind spots.
Multiple factors like fatigue, poor maintenance, or improper loading may contribute. Acting fast to preserve evidence is crucial.
If you or a loved one were hurt in a truck crash, contact our Las Vegas truck accident attorney to explore your legal options and protect your rights.
A truck accident can leave you shaken and unsure where to start. Here’s how to protect yourself and your claim in the moments that matter most:
After a truck accident, prioritize safety and documentation. First, check for injuries and call 911, even if pain seems minor. Move vehicles to a safe spot and use hazard lights to prevent further danger. Gather key details like insurance info, the truck’s company name, plate number, photos, and witness contacts.
Always get medical evaluation, as some injuries appear later, and proper records support your claim. Finally, contact an attorney promptly to protect your rights and handle communications with insurers under Nevada law.
At Gina Corena & Associates, our attorneys handle every part of the process from investigation to negotiation so you can focus on recovery, not red tape.

According to the National Safety Council, there were 59 trucks involved in fatal crashes in Nevada in 2021. This made up 10.4% of all vehicles in fatal crashes in the state. Nationwide, in 2020, there were 4,444 fatal crashes and 101,000 injury crashes. The majority (62 percent) of fatal large truck crashes involved two vehicles.
Deadly accidents involving large trucks frequently happen in rural areas and on Interstate highways. Around 54 percent of all lethal accidents involving large trucks happened in rural locations, 27 percent took place on Interstate highways, and 13 percent happened in both categories by taking place on rural Interstate highways.
Every truck accident case begins with a careful investigation. Your attorney gathers evidence such as police reports, driver logs, and maintenance records to determine what caused the crash and who is legally responsible. Preserving this information early can make or break your claim.
Once the facts are established, your lawyer negotiates directly with the insurance company to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, the case moves into litigation where depositions, discovery, and trial preparation take place.
At Gina Corena & Associates, we handle each step with precision. Our Las Vegas truck accident lawyers manage deadlines, filings, and negotiations to ensure your case is positioned for the best possible result.
The experience of our attorneys ranges from insurance and commercial law to personal injury and other areas which give our team an unmatched ability to reach a favorable outcome in your case. We handle each matter with accountability and responsiveness, as if we were representing ourselves.
Las Vegas sees heavy commercial traffic and long-haul routes, leading to driver fatigue, speeding, and distraction. Poor vehicle maintenance and congested highways also increase the risk of serious truck collisions.
You may recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and, in some cases, punitive damages. Your attorney will assess all short- and long-term losses to maximize recovery.
Under Nevada’s comparative negligence law, you can still receive compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault. However, your settlement is reduced by your share of responsibility.
Contact a Las Vegas truck accident lawyer immediately after the crash. Early legal guidance helps preserve critical evidence, manage insurer communication, and protect your rights from the start.
Yes. Liability can extend to the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, or maintenance contractors. Identifying all responsible parties strengthens your claim and helps secure full compensation.
As a former insurance defense attorney, Ms. Corena has gained the experience and knowledge that many personal injury attorneys simply do not have access to.
