When someone else’s carelessness leaves you hurt in Washoe County, you shouldn’t have to deal with the insurance company alone. Our team is here to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Free Consultation
You were hurt, and the medical bills are arriving faster than the answers. The treatment you need, the work you miss, and the calls from an adjuster all land at once, usually before you have had time to think.
Washoe County is a big place, and injuries happen in all kinds of ways. Some clients come to us after a crash on I-80 or US-395. Others were hurt in a casino, a store, an apartment complex, or somewhere they never expected. The circumstances may be different, but the questions are usually the same: Who is responsible, and how do I recover from this?
That’s where our work begins. We investigate what happened, gather the records and evidence needed to support your claim, and deal with the insurance company on your behalf while you focus on getting better.
Gina Corena & Associates works on a contingency. The consultation is free, and you pay no fee unless we win.

Personal injury covers far more than car crashes. Most of our Washoe County cases trace back to someone who owed you reasonable care and failed to give it. The freeways produce the worst wrecks, but casino and retail falls, unsafe premises, and dog bites send just as many people to the emergency room across Reno and Sparks.
The cases we handle most often in Washoe County include:
When a death follows an injury, Nevada law allows certain family members to pursue a wrongful death claim. We handle these cases with the care and attention they deserve while helping families seek accountability and financial recovery.
Get medical care first, even if you think you can walk it off. Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno is northern Nevada’s only Level II trauma center, and many serious injuries from across Washoe County are treated there. Some injuries take hours or even days to fully appear, which is one reason prompt medical attention matters.
Then document everything. Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and whatever caused the accident. If anyone witnessed what happened, get their names and contact information while the details are still fresh.
Be careful when speaking with the insurance company. They may ask for a recorded statement early on, so it is best to speak with a lawyer before agreeing to anything.
Nevada uses modified comparative negligence (NRS 41.141). Your award is reduced by your share of fault, and you collect nothing once you reach 51 percent. The line matters. If a jury values your case at $100,000 and finds you 20 percent at fault, you recover $80,000; at 50 percent, you can still recover, and at 51 percent, you recover nothing.
You generally have two years to file an injury claim (NRS 11.190). Miss it, and a court can throw out an otherwise strong case before anyone hears it.
There is no cap on damages in an ordinary Nevada injury case. Caps apply only to medical malpractice (NRS 41A) and to claims against a government body, which carry a $200,000 limit and a much shorter notice deadline.
Because evidence can disappear and memories fade over time, it is important to begin investigating a claim as soon as possible.

Traffic deaths increased sharply in Washoe County in 2025, rising from 50 to 69, while pedestrian fatalities also increased. These figures are preliminary, but they highlight the serious risks drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians face throughout the region.

The impact extends beyond fatal crashes. Vision Zero Truckee Meadows reports 327 roadway deaths over the last decade, and many more people suffer serious injuries each year. Renown Regional Medical Center remains the primary trauma center serving northern Nevada.
Major corridors such as I-80, US-395, and McCarran Boulevard continue to see heavy traffic and a significant share of serious collisions across Washoe County.
It starts with a free consultation where we review what happened and tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
The next stage is gathering evidence. That can include medical records, accident reports, witness statements, photographs, and other documentation that helps establish liability and damages. Once we understand the full extent of your losses, we prepare a demand for compensation.
Many claims resolve through negotiation. When they do not, we file suit and continue building the case through the litigation process.
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.
It depends on your medical bills, lost income, future care, and how the injury changed your life. No honest lawyer quotes a number on day one. We value a case only after we see the full picture, and the first review is free.
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, slip and fall and premises cases, dog bites, and wrongful death. If someone’s carelessness hurt you in Washoe County, it is worth a free call.
Two years from the date of injury, in most cases (NRS 11.190). Claims against a government entity have a shorter notice deadline, so talk to a lawyer early.
You can still recover, as long as you were 50 percent or less to blame. Nevada reduces your award by your share of fault (NRS 41.141), and bars recovery only at 51 percent or more.
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.
For minor injuries, you may not need an attorney. But when medical treatment, lost income, or a disputed insurance claim is involved, speaking with a lawyer can help you understand your options and protect your interests.
Claims against a government body in Nevada are subject to a $200,000 cap and a shorter deadline for filing notice (NRS 41.035). These cases move on a faster clock, so reach out quickly.
