Free Consultation
If another driver’s carelessness caused your crash in Summerlin, you don’t have to figure out what comes next on your own. Nevada law allows you to pursue compensation for your injuries, losses, and everything the accident has disrupted. Gina Corena & Associates handles that process from start to finish on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no fee unless the firm recovers compensation for you.
The firm has recovered seven-figure results for injured Nevadans and focuses entirely on injury law, so these cases are not treated as side work. That experience shows in how claims are built, how evidence is approached, and how insurers are pushed when they undervalue a case.
The earlier a case is reviewed,the more evidence can be preserved and the stronger the claim can become before negotiations even begin.
If you want to understand where your case stands and what options you may have under Nevada law, you can call (702) 680-1111 to speak with the team.

Car accidents in Summerlin are often the result of negligent driving behaviors, including speeding, distracted driving, impairment, and failure to follow traffic laws. These factors continue to contribute to serious collisions throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
Ongoing road construction can also increase crash risks. The CC-215 and Summerlin Parkway interchange project has altered traffic patterns, lane configurations, and merge points, creating additional hazards for motorists unfamiliar with the changes.
Common causes of Summerlin car accidents include distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, unsafe lane changes, tailgating, and failure to yield the right of way.
Certain intersections and roadways in and around Summerlin have historically experienced higher collision rates than others. Crash data and roadway conditions can play an important role in determining how an accident occurred and whether another party may be legally responsible.
Start by reporting the crash and getting medical attention. Many people leave the scene thinking they are uninjured, only to develop symptoms hours or days later. Delaying treatment can create problems for both your health and your claim.
Once the immediate situation is under control, gather as much information as possible. Take photographs, exchange insurance information, identify witnesses, and obtain the police report. Evidence tends to disappear quickly after a collision, especially on busy roads such as Summerlin Parkway and the 215 Beltway.
Insurance companies may contact you shortly after the accident. While it is important to report the crash, there is rarely any benefit to rushing into a settlement. Before accepting an offer, make sure you understand the nature of your injuries, the cost of treatment, and whether additional medical care may be needed.
A Nevada car accident claim can recover both financial losses and the personal impact of the crash. That may include medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, future treatment, pain, scarring, and the ways the injuries changed your daily life.
Nevada does not cap damages in ordinary car accident cases. Limits apply only in certain situations, including medical malpractice claims under NRS 41A.035 and claims against government entities under NRS 41.035. Nevada also requires only minimum auto insurance coverage under NRS 485.185, which is often far below the cost of a serious injury claim.
Fault can still affect recovery. Under Nevada’s modified comparative negligence rule (NRS 41.141), compensation may be reduced if you are found partly responsible for the crash, and recovery is barred only if you are more than 50% at fault.
A free consultation, with your medical records and police report in hand, is the only way to get a realistic answer.

The firm is familiar with the roads, traffic conditions, insurers, and court procedures that commonly affect Summerlin car accident claims. That experience can be valuable when investigating a crash, evaluating damages, and negotiating with insurance companies.

Traffic deaths across Clark County remain high, even after a decline in 2025. Nevada recorded 381 traffic fatalities statewide that year, while Clark County accounted for 239 of them, down from the county’s record 296 deaths in 2024. Nevada’s traffic fatality rate also remains among the highest in the country, ranking above the national average.
The Summerlin and west Las Vegas area includes several corridors identified for elevated crash activity. City of Las Vegas Vision Zero data shows that 77% of the city’s serious-injury and fatal crashes happen on just 11% of streets classified as part of the High Injury Network.
These numbers reflect how quickly a serious crash can change someone’s life. They also explain why evidence matters so much after an accident.
The case usually begins with an investigation into the crash, including police reports, medical records, witness statements, vehicle damage, and insurance coverage.
From there, the claim moves into negotiations with the insurance company and, if necessary, into litigation when fault or compensation is disputed.
Nevada generally gives injured drivers 2 years to file a lawsuit under NRS 11.190, though certain circumstances may affect that deadline. Certain Nevada laws can also shape specific claims involving rideshare vehicles, rental cars, or government entities.
If a lawsuit becomes necessary, the case will typically proceed through the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas while both sides exchange evidence and continue settlement discussions.
Many claims still resolve before trial, but the process depends on the injuries involved,the available evidence, and whether liability is contested.
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.
Two years from the date of the crash, in most cases (NRS 11.190). A few situations shorten or alter that window, and claims against a government entity require additional steps. Talk to a lawyer early so a deadline never decides your case for you.
You can still recover, as long as you were 50 percent or less at fault. Nevada reduces your award based on your share of the blame (NRS 41.141). At 51 percent or more, you recover nothing. That is why insurers push fault onto you.
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, so you pay only if we recover money for you, and the first consultation is always free.
Often, no. The state minimum is $25,000 per person (NRS 485.185), which a single emergency-room visit can exceed. About 1 in 10 Nevada drivers has no insurance at all, so uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is your safety net.
It depends on the road. Las Vegas Metro handles local streets in Summerlin. The Nevada Highway Patrol handles US-95, the I-215 Beltway, and Summerlin Parkway. Request your report from the agency that responded to the scene.
No. Nevada places no cap on damages in an ordinary car accident case (Nevada courts). Caps apply only to medical-malpractice and government claims, which is a point some websites get wrong.
You may have more coverage than you think. A 2025 law requires rental companies to verify insurance, and another sets a $1 million coverage floor for rideshare drivers during a trip. We identify every policy that applies.
