A serious car accident can throw every part of your life off track. You’re hurt, the bills start showing up, and you’re missing work while you try to heal. Then the other driver’s insurance company calls, wanting a statement. It’s a lot to carry at the worst possible time.
What most people don’t realize is that the insurance company starts working on your claim right away. Their goal is to pay as little as possible. They hope you’ll accept a quick settlement before you know the full cost of your injuries, lost wages, and everything else the accident has taken from you.
This is where a seasoned Las Vegas car accident lawyer changes the outcome. Our lawyers know how to gather evidence before it’s gone, calculate what your claim is truly worth, and push back when an offer falls short.
We don’t just handle paperwork. We build strong cases backed by evidence, so insurers know they’re dealing with a team that’s prepared to fight for every dollar.
Below, you’ll see what our Las Vegas car accident lawyers have recovered for people in situations like yours and why so many injured victims trust our team to fight for the compensation they deserve.

Before starting this firm, Gina Corena worked for the insurance companies. She spent the early part of her career on their side of the table, deciding which claims were worth pursuing and defending the companies that paid them. She knows how they think, how they value a case, and the moves they make to pay you less.
Now she uses all of it for the people the insurance companies used to fight. That experience with insurance companies and accident law is the foundation of our firm, and it’s why our Las Vegas car accident lawyers can see the other side’s strategy coming before it arrives.
When you hire the best Las Vegas car accident lawyers for your case, here’s what you get:
That track record has earned Gina honors like Top 40 Under 40. The recognition we care about most, though, is the money put back in our clients’ lives and the late-night calls we pick up when they need us.
Distracted driving remains one of the biggest, whether it’s a text message, a phone call, or a quick glance at a GPS. Drunk driving is another major factor, especially late at night on the Strip and the busy roads surrounding it.
Speeding and aggressive driving make crashes far more dangerous than they need to be. A split-second mistake at a higher speed can leave people with serious injuries. We also see many accidents caused by reckless driving, including tailgating, running red lights, and weaving through traffic.
Drowsy driving doesn’t get as much attention, but it’s a serious problem in a city filled with shift workers, tourists, and commercial drivers.
Rear-end collisions and intersection accidents are also among the most common crashes we handle. No matter how an accident happens, proving fault is what matters most, and that’s where our team goes to work.
Our experienced Las Vegas car accident lawyers don’t wait around for the insurance company’s version of events. We move fast, because evidence disappears. We get the police report, pull camera footage before it’s recorded over, photograph the vehicles, and preserve the black-box data that shows speed and braking in the seconds before impact.
When a case needs it, we bring in the right experts. Accident reconstruction specialists show exactly how the crash happened. Doctors connect your injuries to it. Economists put a number on the income and earning power you’ve lost. These are the people who turn your account of events into proof.
From the beginning, we build every case as if it could end up in court. Insurance companies know which law firms are prepared to take that step and which ones aren’t. A well-prepared case sends a message that we’re serious about pursuing the compensation our clients deserve.
Gina’s background working for insurance companies also gives us an advantage. We know what the defense will go looking for, like the gap in treatment, the old injury, or the offhand statement, and we get ahead of it before they can use it against you.
What you do in the hours and days after a crash can make or break your claim. If you’re ever involved in a car accident in Las Vegas, these are the steps to take.
Talk to a Las Vegas car accident lawyer. Before accepting any offer or signing anything, get advice from someone who’s on your side.
The first offer usually comes fast, and it’s usually low. It shows up when you’re hurt, missing work, and worried about bills. It may look like a solution, but once you accept it, there’s usually no going back for more later.
Next comes the recorded statement. The adjuster may sound friendly, but they’re listening for anything they can use to question your injuries or argue that you were partly at fault.
If that doesn’t work, delays often follow. More paperwork. More questions. More waiting. The longer the process drags on, the more pressure there is to settle for less.
Our Las Vegas car accident attorneys know how to deal with low settlement offers, recorded-statement requests, and unnecessary delays. We step in early, handle the communication, and protect your claim from day one.

The numbers tell part of the story. In 2024, LVMPD recorded 18,437 collisions in its jurisdiction, and 11,559 of them left someone injured.
Across Clark County, 293 people lost their lives in traffic crashes in 2024, accounting for most of the state’s 412 roadway deaths. Speeding and impaired driving are behind a large share of them.
Behind every statistic is a person whose life changed in an instant. If you’re dealing with the aftereffects of a crash right now, you’re not a number to us. You’re someone looking for answers, support, and a way forward.

It starts with a free consultation, where we learn what happened and explain your options. From there, we gather evidence, investigate the crash, and begin building your case.
While you focus on recovery, we collect medical records, document your losses, and calculate the value of your claim. Once we have the evidence we need, we send a demand to the insurance company and begin negotiating for a fair settlement.
Most cases settle without ever going to court. If the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we’re prepared to take the next step. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated, answer your questions, and help you make the decisions that are right for you.
I needed a team that would listen, communicate, and help me through a difficult injury case. Gina Corena & Associates made me feel cared for, kept me informed, and worked hard to help me move forward.
There’s no single number, because it depends on your case. The value comes from your medical bills, your lost income, the cost of any future care, the damage to your vehicle, and what you’ve been through physically and emotionally. We can give you a real estimate once we understand your injuries and your losses.
In most cases, two years from the date of the crash. Miss that deadline and you can lose the right to recover anything, so it’s worth talking to a lawyer early. If you’re not sure where your case stands, a free call now costs you nothing and protects your options.
Yes, you can often still recover. If you carry uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, it can pay your damages when the at-fault driver can’t. Our experienced car accident attorneys in Las Vegas can review your policy, identify coverage you may not know you have, and file your claim for you.
You may still be able to recover. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule: as long as you’re not more than 50% at fault, you can collect damages, reduced by your share of the blame. Insurers like to pin extra blame on you to pay less, and that’s exactly what we push back on.
No, not before you talk to a lawyer. The other driver’s insurer will ask, and it sounds routine, but a recorded statement is mostly useful to them, not you. They use it to find anything that lets them pay you less. You’re allowed to say no, and you should.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, which means you pay no fee unless we win money for your case. The first consultation is always free.
It depends on your injuries and how the insurer behaves. Some cases settle in a few months. Others, especially serious injuries or cases headed for trial, take a year or more. We won’t rush you to settle early just to close the file, because settling before you’ve finished treatment usually means leaving money on the table.
