A wet floor with no sign, a broken stair, a dark parking garage. When a property owner ignores a hazard, our Summerlin personal injury team holds them accountable.
Free Consultation
A fall rarely feels serious at the moment, until it is. One step through a store, apartment complex, or parking area in Summerlin can turn into an ER visit, time away from work, and conversations with an insurance adjuster who already has a number in mind.
Gina Corena & Associates handles premises liability cases across the west Las Vegas valley and guides clients through the process from start to finish. The firm focuses entirely on injury law in Nevada, and that experience shapes how these cases are approached from the beginning.
We understand how liability is evaluated in premises cases and how insurers typically respond when property conditions are disputed.
Your first consultation is free, and there is no fee unless the firm recovers compensation for you. Call (702) 680-1111 when you are ready to talk.

Premises liability cases are not limited to wet floors in stores. They cover situations in which a property owner, manager, or business fails to maintain reasonably safe conditions, resulting in someone getting hurt. In Summerlin, that can happen in places people pass through every day without a second thought.
We handle a wide range of premises-related injury cases across the west Las Vegas valley, including:
These cases don’t always fit into a neat category. Apartment stairwells, uneven walkways, pool decks, construction areas, and other everyday spaces can all become hazardous when basic safety standards are ignored.
Some locations in Summerlin see more slip-and-fall injuries simply because of the amount of foot traffic they attract. Downtown Summerlin, with its open-air retail layout and constant flow of shoppers, creates frequent exposure to slick walkways, crowded entry points, and high-use common areas.
Nearby venues like Las Vegas Ballpark and City National Arena see similar issues during events, when crowds move fast, and maintenance can fall behind.
Outside of retail and entertainment spaces, many serious falls occur in more ordinary places such as parking garage stairwells, escalators, apartment complexes, pool decks, and shared community areas.
These are spaces people use every day, which is exactly why maintenance issues there often go unnoticed until someone gets hurt.
A slip and fall claim can include both financial losses and the personal impact of the injury.
Financial damages usually cover medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity. Non-economic damages include pain, recovery time, and the impact of the injury on daily life.
Nevada generally doesn’t cap damages in these cases, except in limited situations, such as claims against government entities (NRS 41.035) or medical malpractice (NRS 41A.035). Most cases come down to medical records and proof of how the injury affects your routine.
Under Nevada’s comparative negligence rule (NRS 41.141), compensation can be reduced if you’re partly at fault, and barred if fault is over 50%.
Gina Corena built this firm specifically around injury law in Nevada, and that focus shows in how premises cases are handled from day one.
Clients aren’t shuffled between departments or treated like side work. They work directly with a team that handles injury cases every day and knows how these claims are actually fought and proven.
Local experience matters in these cases. Most Clark County premises lawsuits over $15,000 move through the Eighth Judicial District Court in downtown Las Vegas. Knowing how these cases progress in that system, and how local property owners and insurers respond, can make a real difference in how a claim is built.
The firm works on a contingency fee, so there’s no cost to start a case. Spanish-speaking clients can also communicate with the team throughout the process, from the first call to resolution.
Falls remain the leading cause of injury among older adults. In 2023, the U.S. fall death rate for people aged 65 and older reached 69.9 per 100,000, with more than 41,000 deaths linked to falls (CDC).
Over the last decade, those deaths have increased by about 51 percent. In a community like Summerlin, where many residents are retired, even a simple fall in a parking lot, stairwell, or walkway can have serious consequences.
These aren’t minor injuries. A fall can lead to a hip fracture, head trauma, or long recovery, along with medical costs that begin immediately.
A premises case usually moves in a clear sequence. It starts with a free consultation, where the facts of the incident are reviewed. From there, the focus shifts to preserving evidence like photos, incident reports, and any available video before it’s lost or deleted.
Next comes the investigation, where the details are pulled together to understand what happened and why. Once the case is built, a demand is sent to the insurance company. If they don’t respond fairly, the case moves into negotiation or, if needed, a lawsuit.
From there, it either settles or proceeds through the court process toward resolution.
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.
You generally have to show the property owner knew about the hazard or should have known about it, and didn’t fix it in time (Sprague v. Lucky Stores). If the business created the danger itself, liability is usually more straightforward.
No. A fall by itself isn’t enough. You still have to prove negligence, usually through notice and proof that the hazard was there long enough that it should’ve been addressed.
Different rules apply. You usually must file a written notice of claim (NRS 41.036), and recovery is capped at $200,000 (NRS 41.035).
Most cases have a two-year deadline from the date of the fall (NRS 11.190). Government claims often require earlier notice.
You can still recover if you are 50 percent or less at fault. Your compensation is reduced based on your share of responsibility (NRS 41.141).
It depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, future costs, and the strength of the evidence of liability. Each case is valued based on its own facts.
Nothing upfront. These cases are handled on a contingency fee, so you only pay if there’s a recovery, and the consultation is free.
