Free Consultation
An injury can throw life off balance in seconds. One moment you’re driving along Summerlin Parkway or walking through Downtown Summerlin, and the next you’re dealing with medical care, missed work, and an insurance adjuster already trying to close things out fast and cheap.
Summerlin sits on the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley, stretching across Las Vegas city limits and parts of unincorporated Clark County, with a population of roughly 127,000. We work with injured clients throughout the area, from Sun City and The Ridges to the busy corridors around the 215.
Our team takes over the legal process so you don’t have to manage it yourself. That means investigating what happened, collecting records, speaking with insurers, and building the claim from the ground up while you focus on recovery.
Gina Corena & Associates handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. Consultations are free, and you do not pay any fee unless we recover compensation for you.

In the Summerlin area, many claims come from high-traffic roads, busy retail spaces, and fast-growing residential corridors. Gina Corena & Associates represents injured clients across a wide range of Nevada injury cases.
The cases our Summerlin clients bring to us most often include:
We also handle rideshare crashes, dog bites, and uninsured-driver claims, and we will tell you honestly whether you have a case worth pursuing.
Seeking prompt medical care is one of the most important steps. Medical records help document the nature and extent of your injuries and can serve as critical evidence in a personal injury claim.
You should also take steps to preserve evidence before it disappears. Photographs of the accident scene, witness contact information, incident reports, and medical treatment records can all help establish how the injury occurred and the losses you have suffered as a result.
Insurance adjusters may contact you shortly after the accident, sometimes before you know the extent of your injuries. Be cautious about providing recorded statements or accepting an early settlement offer. Once a claim is resolved, you may not be able to seek additional compensation, even if your injuries prove more serious than initially believed.
An experienced Summerlin personal injury attorney can help protect your interests and guide you through the claims process.
Nevada’s statute of limitations gives most injury victims two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. See NRS 11.190. Cases involving government entities may require additional notice and shorter deadlines, so waiting too long can put a claim at risk.
Under Nevada’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. Any award is reduced by your share of fault. If you are found 20 percent at fault, for example, a $100,000 award would be reduced to $80,000.
A successful claim may provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, property damage, and pain and suffering. If a driver is uninsured, your uninsured motorist coverage may step in. Nevada generally does not impose damage caps in standard personal injury cases, although different rules apply to certain claims, including medical malpractice cases and claims against government entities.
Gina Corena & Associates focuses entirely on injury law, and that focus shapes how cases are prepared from the beginning.
The firm also brings experience handling cases throughout Clark County and the Eighth Judicial District Court in downtown Las Vegas, where many Summerlin injury lawsuits are filed. Local experience matters because insurers, traffic patterns, medical providers, and injury evaluations in Southern Nevada do not always mirror the way claims are handled elsewhere in the state.
Serious injury cases in the Summerlin area are often treated through Summerlin Hospital before more critical trauma cases are transferred to UMC in Las Vegas. Understanding how injuries are documented,treated, and evaluated locally is part of building a strong claim.
Clients work directly with their legal team throughout the case, not a rotating call center. And for Spanish-speaking clients, the firm serves you in your language from the first call to the final check.
Traffic injuries remain a serious issue across Clark County and the west Las Vegas valley. Clark County recorded 239 traffic deaths in 2025, down from 2024 but still above pre-pandemic levels. Statewide, Nevada recorded 381 traffic fatalities that year, including 83 pedestrian deaths in Southern Nevada and 58 motorcyclist deaths in Clark County.
Summerlin sits near several high-volume crash corridors, including I-215, US- 95, Charleston Boulevard, and Durango Drive. According to the City of Las Vegas Vision Zero Action Plan, 77% of the city’s serious-injury and fatal crashes happen on just 11% of streets identified as part of the High Injury Network.
The City of Las Vegas also reported more than 53,000 crashes between 2018 and 2022, including 251 fatalities and 750 serious injuries. Nearly half of those killed were pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists.
These numbers reflect how quickly a serious accident can change someone’s life and why preserving evidence early after a crash can matter so much in an injury claim.
It starts with a consultation and an investigation into how the accident happened, who was responsible, and what evidence is available. Medical records, photographs, witness statements, accident reports, and insurance information often become part of that process early.
Once the injuries and damages are clearer,the claim usually moves into negotiations with the insurance company. Some cases settle there. Others do not, especially when fault is disputed, or the insurer refuses to offer fair compensation. In those situations, filing a lawsuit may become necessary.
Nevada generally gives injured people 2 years to file a lawsuit under NRS 11.190, though certain circumstances may shorten that deadline. Several newer Nevada laws can also affect certain claims, including cases involving rideshare vehicles, rental cars, and workers’ compensation liens.
If a lawsuit is filed in a Summerlin-area case, it will typically proceed through the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas. Gina Corena & Associates guides clients through each stage while handling communication with insurers and opposing parties.
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.
You likely have a case if someone else’s negligence caused your injury and you have real losses, like medical bills or lost wages. The clearest test is simple. Did another person or business act carelessly, and did that carelessness hurt you? A free consultation will tell you where you stand.
It depends on your injuries, your losses, and who was at fault. Two similar-looking cases can settle for very different amounts. We value a claim by adding up medical care, lost income, future costs, and pain and suffering, then we pursue the full figure.
In most cases, two years from the date of the injury under Nevada law (NRS 11.1900). A few situations change that deadline, such as an injury to a minor or a claim against a government entity. Confirm your specific deadline with a lawyer early.
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, which is exactly why insurers try to shift 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.
No, not in an ordinary injury case. Nevada caps damages only for medical-malpractice and government claims (Nevada courts). Some websites state a cap that does not apply to standard injury claims.
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.
