Not every injury arrives with clarity. In the beginning, it’s usually just confusion, pain, and many unanswered questions. The legal side only makes sense once the pattern behind the accident becomes visible.
Many of the injury claims we handle involve:
While every case has its own details, most personal injury claims eventually circle back to one question: whether someone acted with reasonable care. When that standard isn’t met, and it leads to harm, the law can hold the responsible party accountable for the losses that follow.
After an injury in Reno, the first step is getting medical care and actually following through. Not just the ER visit, but the follow-ups too. In personal injury claims, gaps in treatment are often taken as a sign that the injury may not be as serious as it first seemed, even when that isn’t true.
Next comes documentation, and this part matters more than people think. Photos of the scene, names of witnesses, the responding agency, and the report number all help build a clearer picture later. If a property condition caused the injury, it’s worth capturing it immediately. Things get cleaned up, fixed, or quietly changed fast.
Before speaking to an insurance company, it helps to talk to a lawyer first. A recorded statement might feel like a formality, but it’s often one of the first places where details start getting framed in a way that doesn’t fully match what actually happened.
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule (NRS 41.141), which means your compensation is reduced based on your share of fault. If you’re 51% or more responsible, you recover nothing.
For example, in a $200,000 case, a 10% fault finding brings it down to $180,000. That’s why fault tends to be one of the most heavily disputed parts of a claim.
Most injury claims in Nevada have a two-year filing deadline from the date of injury (NRS 11.190). When a government entity is involved, the timeline can be shorter because notice requirements kick in earlier than people expect.
A personal injury claim in Nevada can include medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment costs, and pain and suffering. Unlike some states, Nevada does not place a general cap on damages in standard injury cases (NRS 41A limits apply mainly to medical malpractice), so the range can vary widely depending on the facts.
We’ve been representing injured Nevadans since 2013. The firm was founded by Gina Corena, who also leads its litigation department. She has been recognized by the American Society of Legal Advocates in “Top 40 Under 40” and named among Nevada’s “Ten Best Attorneys” by the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys.
Reno injury cases are filed in the Second Judicial District Court in Washoe County, and they are governed by Nevada’s same-fault rules, deadlines, and insurance laws we work with every day. That regular exposure to local courts and insurers shapes how we approach each case, from valuation to trial prep.
Clients work directly with an attorney, not a call center. Cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, with no upfront cost for consultations.
At a glance: 327 Truckee Meadows road deaths in 10 years | Goal of zero road deaths by 2030 | 77% of pedestrian and bike deaths after dark (2016–2020) | 1.49 Nevada deaths per 100M miles driven (2024) | About 45% rise in Nevada deaths over the past decade | 2-year deadline to file most claims
Truckee Meadows has recorded 327 road deaths over roughly a decade (Vision Zero Truckee Meadows). A large share of pedestrian and bicycle fatalities happen after dark, which is one of the clearest patterns in the data. The region’s Vision Zero plan sets a 2030 target of eliminating traffic deaths, with current safety efforts built around that goal.
Nevada’s traffic fatality rate reached 1.49 deaths per 100 million miles driven in 2024, about 24% higher than the national average, with total fatalities rising roughly 45% over the past decade (TRIP, 2025).
Behind those numbers are ordinary moments that didn’t end the way anyone expected. A commute, a crossing, a normal drive home. Most of the claims begin in situations like that.
It begins with a review of what happened and whether the facts support a valid claim. If the case moves forward, we gather medical records, crash reports, witness statements, and any other available evidence to clearly understand liability and damages.
Once the case is built, a formal demand is sent to the insurance company. This includes documenting injuries, treatment, lost income, and other losses. Most cases are evaluated and negotiated at this stage, and many resolve without court involvement.
If the insurer disputes fault or undervalues the claim, the case is filed in the Second Judicial District Court in Washoe County. From there, it moves through litigation, where evidence is exchanged, and the case usually ends in either 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.
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, so you pay only if we recover money for you. The first consultation is always free, and we can usually tell you quickly whether a claim is worth pursuing.
Two years from the date of injury, in most cases (NRS 11.190). Claims against a government entity have shorter notice requirements, so it is best to call early to avoid missing a step.
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes, slip and fall and other premises injuries, and wrongful death claims. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, a quick call will tell you.
You can still recover compensation if you were 50% or less at fault. Nevada reduces your award based on your share of responsibility (NRS 41.141) and bars recovery at 51% or more. Many people assume fault ends the claim, but it often doesn’t.
It depends on the injuries, treatment, evidence, and available insurance coverage. Nevada doesn’t place a general cap on damages in ordinary injury cases. The value comes down to what can be proven, not a fixed formula.
Most do not. Many claims settle once we present strong evidence and a documented demand. We prepare every case as if it could go to trial, which is often what produces a fair settlement.
No. We represent people injured in the Reno and Washoe County area under Nevada law, and we handle the details by phone, email, and document upload when an in-person visit is not practical.
