If a careless driver hurt you on a motorcycle in Henderson, Nevada, the law gives you the right to pursue compensation for your injuries and losses. Gina Corena & Associates helps make that process clearer and handles the claim from the first conversation through resolution.
Motorcycle crashes are often serious because riders don’t have the protection of a vehicle frame, airbags, or seatbelts. Even a lower-speed impact can mean hospital visits, time away from work, and recovery that stretches longer than expected.
Insurance companies often start building their position early, sometimes by questioning how the crash happened or how severe the injuries really are. That can affect how the claim is evaluated if the evidence is not clearly presented.
Our attorneys represent injured motorcyclists across Nevada and bring experience handling serious injury claims involving disputed liability and insurance defense strategies. The focus remains on building the claim with the facts that support it.
Consultations are free, and there is no fee unless compensation is recovered. Call (702) 680-1111 when you are ready to talk.

Most motorcycle crashes happen because a driver fails to notice a rider. That can mean a left-turn across traffic, a missed blind spot during a lane change, or a rear-end collision at a stoplight. On a motorcycle, even a routine traffic mistake can lead to serious injury.
These cases often require pushing back when insurers try to shift the blame onto the rider rather than the driver who caused the crash.
The motorcycle accident cases our Henderson clients bring to us include:
Not every case fits neatly into a category. Some involve distracted driving, road hazards, or single-vehicle incidents caused by unsafe conditions. The firm handles the full range of motorcycle injury claims across Henderson and the surrounding area.
Motorcycle crashes in Henderson most often occur on busy roads where fast-moving traffic meets turning cars. Boulder Highway (SR-582) is one of the most common locations, along with US-95 and the I-215 Beltway. On city streets like St. Rose Parkway, Eastern Avenue, Sunset Road, and Lake Mead Parkway, it’s usually left turns and lane changes that cause the impact.
Boulder Highway alone accounted for roughly a quarter of all Henderson traffic fatalities over a six-year period before reconstruction began (Las Vegas Review-Journal / City of Henderson, 2024). That history led to the ongoing $184 million Reimagine Boulder Highway project, which is rebuilding the corridor with separated lanes, improved crossings, and transit infrastructure through 2027.
Where a crash happens often matters later. It helps explain how the collision happened and how fault is argued in a motorcycle injury case.
A motorcycle accident claim can include both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover measurable losses such as medical treatment, lost income, and motorcycle repair or replacement. Non-economic damages account for pain, recovery, and the impact of the injury on daily life.
Nevada law also allows recovery to be adjusted based on comparative fault under NRS 41.141. That means compensation is reduced by your share of responsibility, if any, for the crash. In practice, fault is often disputed in motorcycle cases and depends on the evidence. For example, if a case is valued at $200,000 and a rider is found 20% at fault, the recovery would be $160,000. If fault exceeds 50%, recovery is barred under Nevada law.
In some cases, factors such as helmet use may be raised in disputes over injury se verity, but they do not prevent a claim from being filed. Case value depends on the facts, injuries, and available evidence, which is why early evaluation is often important.
Gina Corena & Associates handles serious injury claims across Nevada, including motorcycle crashes involving disputed fault and severe injuries. These cases often require challenging insurance companies when they try to minimize responsibility or shift blame onto the rider.
The firm has experience handling litigation in Clark County and understands how motorcycle injury claims are evaluated and defended in local courts. That experience helps shape how each case is prepared and presented.

The numbers for riders in Clark County are sobering. In 2024, there were 61 motorcyclist deaths in the county, most of Nevada’s 83 statewide total. In 2025, that number only fell slightly to 58 (Nevada Office of Traffic Safety data, 2024–2025). At the same time, total traffic deaths in Clark County dropped from 296 to 239, the lowest since 2021. Even with that overall decline, motorcycle deaths stayed relatively high.
The same pattern shows up nationally. In 2023, 6,335 motorcyclists were killed in crashes across the U.S., about 15% of all traffic deaths (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2023). Among riders where helmet use was recorded, 35% were not wearing one.
Taken together, the data points to a consistent reality: motorcycle crashes make up a small portion of traffic, but a much larger share of fatal outcomes. That is why these cases are often more heavily contested and why early evidence work matters.
A motorcycle accident claim usually starts with a consultation and a look at what actually happened, the injuries, and the insurance involved. From there, the focus shifts to collecting records and evidence that support the claim.
Once the facts are established, the case moves into negotiation with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Most cases resolve at this stage, depending on how liability and damages are evaluated.
If a fair resolution is not reached, a lawsuit can be filed within the deadline set by Nevada law, generally two years from the date of the crash (NRS 11.190). The case then proceeds through the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas, where it follows formal litigation rules until settlement or trial.
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 right after the crash. If you can, document the scene, photograph the bike and roadway, gather witness information, and report the accident to Henderson Police or Nevada Highway Patrol.
Nevada law requires riders and passengers to wear a helmet, but not wearing one does not prevent you from bringing a claim. It may be raised in a dispute over head-injury damages, but it does not automatically bar recovery.
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.
You may still recover. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy can pay for your damages when the at-fault driver cannot, and the firm helps you pursue it. Prompt police reporting is typically required.
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.
You may still recover. Nevada’s partial-fault rule lets you collect damages as long as you were 50% or less at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share. Above 50%, you cannot recover.
