A Henderson car accident claim is built around proving fault, documenting losses, and pursuing compensation under Nevada law. Our attorneys manage that process for injured clients.

A crash rarely gives you time to process what just happened. One moment you’re driving on Boulder Highway, and the next you’re in an exam room at St. Rose Dominican Siena, dealing with injuries, a damaged vehicle, and time away from work. In the background, an insurance adjuster is already reviewing the case with a number in mind that may not reflect what you’re actually dealing with.
Nevada law allows injured people to bring a claim for those losses. The goal is to document what happened, prove responsibility, and account for the impact the crash actually had on your life.
Gina Corena & Associates represents injured people in Henderson and across the Las Vegas Valley in personal injury claims involving car accidents, investigation, negotiation with insurers, and litigation when necessary.
The goal is to build the case properly from the beginning, not after opportunities to preserve evidence are already gone.
Consultations are free, and there is no fee unless compensation is recovered. Call (702) 680-1111 when you are ready to discuss your situation.

Car accidents in Henderson rarely look the same twice. A rear-end crash on a backed-up Beltway ramp, a T-bone at the Southeastern Avenue and St. Rose Parkway intersection, a hit-and-run driver who never stops: each one raises different questions about who was at fault and how the claim gets proven.
The car accident cases our Henderson 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 Henderson. Tell us what happened, and we will tell you honestly whether you have a claim.
Some roads in Henderson see more serious crashes simply because of the volume of traffic they carry. Boulder Highway (SR-582) runs through the city’s older commercial areas, while US-95 and the I-215 Beltway handle constant commuter and regional traffic. Busy arterials like St. Rose Parkway, Eastern Avenue, Sunset Road, Green Valley Parkway, and Horizon Ridge Parkway add heavy intersection activity across the city.
Boulder Highway accounted for about a quarter of Henderson traffic fatalities in the years leading up to the Reimagine Boulder Highway project, which began in 2024 and aims to improve safety along the corridor (RTC of Southern Nevada). Intersections such as Eastern Avenue and St. Rose Parkway have also recorded high collision counts, reflecting how often crashes cluster at signal-heavy junctions.
Location matters because it often helps explain how a crash happened. Road design, traffic flow, and intersection conditions can all become relevant when determining fault in a Henderson car accident case.
Economic damages cover measurable losses like emergency medical care, ongoing treatment, lost wages, and the repair or replacement of your vehicle. Non-economic damages account for the harder-to-measure impact of an injury, including physical pain and changes to daily life.
In many cases, insurance limits play a major role in what is actually recoverable. Nevada requires minimum coverage of 25/50/20 (Nevada Division of Insurance). If the at-fault driver carries only minimum limits, additional recovery may depend on your own underinsured motorist coverage. Recent 2025 updates also expanded coverage rules for rental vehicles (SB 194) and rideshare injury coverage (AB 523).
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule under NRS 41.141. If a case is valued at $120,000 and a person is found to be 10% at fault, the recovery would be $108,000. If the fault exceeds 50%, recovery is barred under state law.
There is no fixed cap on damages in most Nevada car accident cases, which is why case value ultimately depends on the facts, injuries, and evidence involved.
Car accident cases in Henderson are often decided by preparation long before they ever reach a courtroom. Our attorneys at Gina Corena & Associates focus on personal injury law in Nevada, with a practice built around handling injury claims from investigation through resolution.
Most Henderson car accident lawsuits are filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas. These cases follow established procedures, and our familiarity with local court practices and insurance handling can influence how your claim is developed and resolved.
Clients work directly with the legal team handling their case. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no upfront cost and no fee unless compensation is recovered. Language is not a barrier here; Spanish-speaking clients are supported throughout the process, from the first consultation to resolution.
Nevada recorded 412 traffic deaths statewide in 2024. Clark County accounted for 293 of them, the highest in county history, along with 95 pedestrian deaths (Nevada Office of Traffic Safety, 2024).
Motorcyclist fatalities reached 61 in Clark County that same year. Boulder Highway continues to stand out, accounting for roughly a quarter of Henderson traffic fatalities in the years leading up to the Reimagine Boulder Highway project (RTC of Southern Nevada).
In 2025, fatalities in Clark County dropped to 239, a 19% decrease from the previous year (Las Vegas Review-Journal, citing Nevada OTS, 2026). Motorcycle deaths also declined slightly to 58.
These patterns tend to show up in individual cases as well. Crashes concentrated in the same corridors, intersections, and traffic conditions that remain consistent year after year.
A Nevada car accident claim usually begins with a free consultation, where the facts of the crash and the injuries are reviewed. From there, the focus shifts to investigation and evidence gathering, including medical records, police reports, and any available scene documentation.
Once the claim is developed, it moves into negotiation with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Most cases are resolved at this stage, but if the insurer does not offer a fair settlement, the case may proceed to filing a lawsuit and, if necessary, trial, which ends in either a settlement or a verdict.
Under Nevada law (NRS 11.190), you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain situations can change that timeline, including cases involving minors or out-of-state defendants, which is why timing should be confirmed early.
If a lawsuit is filed, it is typically heard in the Eighth Judicial District Court at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas. From the beginning of a claim through litigation, if needed, the process follows court rules and procedural deadlines that shape how the case moves forward.
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. Some injuries show up hours or days later. On surface streets in Henderson, police typically respond directly. On highways like US-95 or the I-215 Beltway, the Nevada Highway Patrol handles the scene. Reports are usually available through the Henderson Police Department’s CrashDocs portal.
In most cases, two years from the date of the crash, under Nevada law. A few situations change that deadline, such as a crash that injures a minor or an out-of-state defendant. Confirm your specific deadline with a lawyer early.
Recovery may still be available through uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, which Nevada insurers are required to offer. This coverage can step in when the at-fault driver has no insurance or cannot be identified. Prompt reporting to law enforcement is usually important in these cases.
There is no upfront fee. Gina Corena & Associates works on a contingency fee basis, meaning the firm collects a fee only if it recovers compensation in your case. Clients may still be responsible for certain case costs. The initial consultation is free.
There is no fixed value without reviewing the facts. Case value depends on medical treatment, lost income, property damage, and the overall impact the crash has had on daily life. Nevada does not place a cap on damages in most car accident cases, so outcomes vary widely based on evidence and injuries. A case review is the most reliable way to understand what a claim may be worth.
You may still recover. Under Nevada law, you can collect damages as long as your share of fault is 50% or less, with your award reduced by your share. If your fault exceeds 50%, you cannot recover.
Clark County car-accident lawsuits over $15,000 are heard at the Eighth Judicial District Court, Regional Justice Center, 200 Lewis Avenue, Las Vegas. Most cases settle before trial, but the firm prepares every case for trial.
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.
