If someone else’s careless driving or an unsafe property left you injured in Henderson, Nevada, the law may allow you to seek compensation for what the accident has cost you.
Gina Corena & Associates represents people injured in car accidents, slip and falls, and other negligence-related incidents throughout Henderson and Clark County. The firm handles the legal side of the case from the beginning, including communication with insurance adjusters, investigation of the accident, and preparation of the claim while clients focus on recovering.
The firm has recovered seven-figure results for injured Nevadans and brings that experience to Henderson and the broader Clark County area through a practice focused entirely on personal injury law.
Cases are handled with knowledge of the local roads where crashes occur and the Eighth Judicial District Court, where many of these claims are resolved.

Personal injury law covers far more than car crashes. It reaches any situation where someone else’s carelessness causes you harm, whether on the road, on someone’s property, or behind the wheel of a commercial truck. If that describes what happened to you, the firm can help.
The personal injury cases our Henderson clients bring to us most often include:
Rideshare crashes governed by Nevada’s 2025 TNC law (AB 523), uninsured-driver claims under your own UM/UIM coverage (NRS 485.185), dog bites, pedestrian collisions, drunk driving wrecks: the firm handles the full range of personal injury matters across Nevada. Tell us what happened, and we will tell you honestly whether you have a case.
Some roads in Henderson just see more serious crashes than others. Boulder Highway has carried that reputation for years, while US-95, the I-215 Beltway, St. Rose Parkway, Eastern Avenue, and Galleria Drive stay busy enough that mistakes don’t get much room to play out. Intersections like Eastern and St. Rose are especially known for collisions.
Parts of Boulder Highway are already being rebuilt under the Reimagine Boulder Highway project, a long-term effort to make the corridor safer for drivers and pedestrians, with work continuing through 2027 (RTC of Southern Nevada, 2024). After a serious crash, reports usually go through the Henderson Police Department’s CrashDocs system, and more serious injuries are treated at St. Rose Dominican Siena.
Where a crash happens often matters. The road design, traffic flow, and intersection conditions can all play a role in how an accident occurred and how fault is determined in a Henderson injury claim.
A Nevada personal injury claim can include two types of damages. Economic damages cover measurable losses such as medical bills, future treatment costs, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity. Non-economic damages cover the human side of an injury, including pain, recovery, and the impact on daily life.
One thing many people hear incorrectly is that “there’s a cap” on what these cases can be worth. In most Nevada injury cases, there isn’t. Limits generally apply only in specific situations, such as medical malpractice cases under NRS 41A.035, claims against government entities under NRS 41.035, and punitive damages under NRS 42.005.
Fault also plays a major role. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule under NRS 41.141. If a jury values a case at $100,000 but finds you 20% at fault, the recovery would be $80,000. If someone is found more than 50% responsible, they cannot recover damages.
Every case depends on its own facts, injuries, and evidence. A consultation with records in hand is usually the only way to get a realistic sense of value.
Gina Corena & Associates focuses entirely on Nevada injury law, and that focus shows in how each case is handled. Clients work with a team that handles personal injury claims every day, not a general practice that takes them only occasionally.
In Henderson cases, lawsuits are generally filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas. Once a case enters that system, it follows a very specific rhythm: filing deadlines, disclosure rules, negotiation windows, and courtroom expectations that experienced injury lawyers already know how to work within.
Clients also aren’t passed around. You deal with the legal team handling the case, not a rotating intake desk. The firm works on a contingency fee, so there’s no upfront cost and no fee unless compensation is recovered. Spanish-speaking clients are supported from the first call through the end of the case.
The firm offers free consultations to help you understand your options under Nevada law.
Clark County recorded 293 traffic fatalities in 2024, including 95 pedestrian deaths and 61 motorcyclist deaths (Nevada Office of Traffic Safety via KLAS-TV, 2025). It remains one of the highest annual totals in recent years.
In 2025, fatalities declined to 239, a 19% decrease from the previous year. Pedestrian deaths also fell to 83 during the same period (Las Vegas Review-Journal, 2026). Early 2026 reporting indicates the downward trend has continued statewide (Nevada Office of Traffic Safety via Las Vegas Sun, 2026).
These figures reflect the ongoing severity of serious injury and fatal crashes across Henderson and the broader Clark County region. They also illustrate how frequently these incidents occur on major corridors and high-traffic roadways throughout the area.
When serious accidents occur, the details don’t last long. Skid marks fade, footage gets overwritten, and memories get fuzzy. That early window is often where cases are actually built.
It usually starts with a free consultation, where the basic facts of the accident are reviewed, and it becomes clearer what evidence will matter. From there, the case moves into an investigation stage. That’s where records, medical documentation, witness statements, photos, and insurance details are collected and organized.
Next comes demand and negotiation with the insurance company. This is often where cases are resolved, but it can also be where things slow down if the insurer disputes fault or tries to minimize the injury. If a fair resolution isn’t reached, the next step is to file a lawsuit and proceed through the court process.
Under Nevada law (NRS 11.190), you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Some situations shorten or alter that timeline, including claims involving minors or cases involving government vehicles or employees, which can trigger a separate notice requirement under NRS 41.036.
If a lawsuit is filed, the case will likely be heard in the Eighth Judicial District Court at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas. From there, the process continues through formal litigation steps until settlement or trial. Understanding this timeline early helps avoid missing deadlines and gives a clearer sense of what to expect next.
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.
Usually, two years from the date of injury under Nevada law. Some cases have different deadlines, including claims involving minors or government entities, so it’s best to confirm early.
Most are filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas if the claim is over $15,000. Smaller cases may go to Henderson Justice Court or small claims court, depending on value.
You may still recover. Nevada’s partial-fault rule lets you collect damages as long as your share of fault is 50% or less, with your award reduced by your share. More than 50%, you cannot recover.
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, and how the injury changed your life. Nevada places no cap on damages in ordinary injury cases. A free consultation is the only honest way to estimate yours.
Get medical care first, even if you feel okay. St. Rose Dominican Siena is the local Level III trauma center for serious injuries. Then document the scene if you can, collect witness details, and report the crash through Henderson PD’s CrashDocs system. Speaking with a lawyer early can help protect evidence before it’s lost or overwritten.
Special rules apply. Under Nevada’s government-claim law, you must file a written claim notice with the State, City of Henderson, or Clark County within two years, and damages against a government defendant are capped at $200,000 per claimant.
