If another driver’s careless choice caused your crash in Sparks, Nevada law gives you the right to seek compensation for what the wreck has cost you. Gina Corena & Associates makes that process clear and handles the work from the first call to the final check.
A crash can turn an ordinary day upside down in a matter of seconds. One moment, you are driving home on McCarran Boulevard. Next, you are dealing with a totaled car, an emergency room bill, and time away from work. The insurance adjuster who calls often already has a low number in mind. (That adjuster may be working from a regional claims center, not Nevada.)
We deal with that adjuster, so you do not have to. The firm has recovered seven-figure results for injured Nevadans and brings that experience to Sparks and the greater Reno area through a practice focused entirely on injury law.
Your first consultation is free. You owe no fee unless the firm wins. Call (702) 680-1111 when you are ready to talk.

Gina Corena & Associates has recovered compensation for clients injured in all types of crashes. A Sparks, NV car accident attorney from the firm can review what happened and give you a clear sense of where your case stands.
The car accident cases our Sparks clients bring to us most often include:
Your crash may not fit neatly into one category, and it does not need to. Multi-car pileups, rideshare collisions, and passenger-injury crashes: the firm handles the full range of personal injury cases across the Sparks area. Tell us what happened, and we will tell you honestly whether you have a claim.
Some roads in Sparks see more serious crashes just because of how heavily they’re used. I-80 and US-395 carry fast-moving traffic through the city; Pyramid Highway brings in daily commuters; and roads like McCarran Boulevard, Vista Boulevard, and Sparks Boulevard tend to see many intersection crashes.
Pyramid Highway alone can see around 50,000 vehicles a day, and close to 250,000 vehicles pass through the Reno “Spaghetti Bowl” interchange (Nevada Department of Transportation, 2024). When traffic builds up like that, even a small mistake can turn into something serious.
Where your crash happened matters. The firm investigates the specific road, intersection, and conditions, because those details often decide who was at fault in an intersection crash or a freeway wreck.
Economic damages are clear costs such as emergency treatment, ongoing medical care, lost income, and vehicle repair or replacement. Non-economic damages cover the harder-to-measure aspects, like pain, recovery, and how the injury changes your daily life.
In many cases, insurance limits shape what’s actually recoverable. Nevada only requires drivers to carry minimum liability coverage of 25/50/20, meaning up to $25,000 per person for bodily injury (Nevada Division of Insurance). If the at-fault driver only carries minimum coverage, your own underinsured motorist policy may matter a lot more than people realize.
Nevada also follows a comparative negligence rule. For example, if your case is worth $120,000 but you’re found 10% at fault, you would recover $108,000. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing.
There’s no fixed cap on most car accident damages in Nevada, which is why online estimates rarely tell the full story. A free consultation and a review of your case details are usually the only way to get a real sense of value.
Gina Corena built this firm around one focus: personal injury law in Nevada. That matters because car accident cases aren’t side work here. They’re the core of what the team handles every day.
These cases move through the Second Judicial District Court in Reno, and understanding how they are actually handled there can shape outcomes. So can experience with local insurers and the roads where these crashes happen.
Clients also deal directly with their legal team rather than being passed through a call center. The firm works on a contingency fee basis, so there’s no upfront cost and no fee unless the case is won. Spanish-speaking clients can also get full support in their language throughout the process.
The numbers in the Sparks area are sobering. Nevada recorded 412 traffic deaths in 2024, the result of 377 fatal crashes and the fourth-deadliest year in the state’s history (Nevada Office of Traffic Safety, 2024). Washoe County accounted for 52 of those deaths. And behind each fatal crash are many more people dealing with serious injuries, long recoveries, and lives that suddenly look very different.
Across the Reno-Sparks region, Vision Zero Truckee Meadows reports 327 deaths involving people walking, biking, or driving over the past decade. A lot of that risk sits on busy corridors. Pyramid Highway alone carries around 50,000 vehicles a day, and at that level of traffic, even a small mistake can escalate fast.
Why does this matter for your case? Evidence at a crash scene disappears within days. Skid marks fade, vehicles get repaired, and witnesses forget. The sooner a Sparks car accident lawyer starts working on a case, the more can still be preserved and used.
It usually starts with a free consultation, where a lawyer looks at what happened and what evidence already exists. From there, the focus shifts to investigation and evidence gathering, including things like police reports, medical records, witness statements, and photos or footage from the crash scene.
Once the case is built, it moves into demand and negotiation with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Some cases resolve at this stage if the offer is fair. If not, the next step is to file a lawsuit and prepare the case for court. Even then, many cases still settle before trial, but the option of trial often changes how negotiations play out.
Under Nevada law (NRS 11.190), you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. Some situations change that deadline, such as a crash that injures a minor, so it is worth confirming yours early.
If your case is filed, it will likely be heard at the Second Judicial District Court in Reno. The firm guides you through every stage.
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.
Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some crash injuries surface days later. Then document the scene, photograph the vehicles, gather witness information, and report the crash to police. Speaking with a lawyer early helps protect your evidence.
In most cases, two years from the date of the crash, under Nevada law (NRS 11.190). A few situations change that deadline, such as a crash that injures a minor. Confirm your specific deadline with a lawyer early.
You may still recover. Nevada drivers can carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and insurers must offer it. That coverage on your own policy can pay for your damages when the at-fault driver cannot. The firm helps you pursue it.
Nothing upfront. Gina Corena & Associates works on a contingency fee, so you pay no fee unless the firm wins your case, though clients may be responsible for costs. Your first consultation is always free.
It depends on your medical costs, lost income, vehicle damage, and how the crash changed your life. Nevada places no cap on damages in ordinary cases. A free consultation is the only honest way to estimate yours.
You may still recover. Nevada’s comparative negligence rule lets you collect damages as long as you were 50% or less at fault, with your award reduced by your share. Above 50%, recovery is barred.
Most cases settle without a trial. Even so, the firm prepares every case as if it will be tried, and that readiness is often what moves an insurer toward a fair settlement.
Gina Corena founded Gina Corena & Associates to give injured Nevadans a legal team that fights for them, and she leads the firm's attorneys in a practice focused on personal injury law.
