Motor vehicle crashes are the most common injury claims in Las Vegas. The type of crash decides who pays: the other driver’s insurer, a trucking company, a rideshare policy, your own uninsured motorist coverage, or a manufacturer.
What your claim is worth vs. what the adjuster offers.
What surviving families can recover after a deadly crash.
Pushing back on the bias insurers use against riders.
Federal trucking rules and multiple companies that can be liable.
Which policy pays depends on the driver’s app status.
Punitive damages may be available beyond your medical bills.
Struck on the Strip, in a crosswalk, or at a resort driveway.
Rider, driver, or rental company: who is liable.
Nevada protections for cyclists hit by careless drivers.
How uninsured motorist coverage pays when the driver is never found.
RTC, school, and charter buses. Who ran the bus changes who pays.
Lake Mead crashes where Nevada and federal maritime law can both apply.
When a defective part caused the crash, the manufacturer answers.
Car accident types we handle:
Motor vehicle accident claims in Las VegasNevada property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe. The first question in any premises case is who controlled the property: the owner, a tenant, a property manager, or a contractor.
Proving the property knew about the hazard and didn’t fix it.
Act before the resort’s surveillance footage is overwritten.
Proving which meal made you sick.
Nevada has no dog-bite statute, so a claim depends on proving the owner was negligent: a known history of aggression, a leash-law violation, or an unsafe enclosure. Most claims are paid by the owner’s homeowner’s or renter’s insurance.
Punctures, infections, scarring, and disfigurement.
Facial injuries, scarring, and long-term trauma.
Loose, unleashed, or poorly contained animals.
Howard Injury Law handles workplace injuries only when someone other than your employer caused them. Workers’ comp covers medical care and part of your lost wages. A third-party claim can recover what comp doesn’t, including pain and suffering.
Comp-only claims are outside our practice. If no outside party was involved, or your question is about a comp denial or benefit amount, we are not the right firm for that claim.
Hurt by another contractor’s crew, equipment, or unsafe site conditions.
Hit by an outside driver while driving for work.
Injured by a faulty tool, machine, or safety device.
When negligence takes a loved one, Nevada’s wrongful death law (NRS 41.085) decides who can file, the heirs or the estate’s personal representative, and what each can recover. The cause of death decides how the case is proven.
When negligent security let a fatal attack happen.
Drownings, falls, fires, and carbon monoxide on unsafe property.
Lost someone in a crash or to a medical error? See fatal crash claims or medical wrongful death claims.
Wrongful death claims in Las VegasCatastrophic injuries, including brain and spinal cord injuries, amputation, loss of an eye, and severe burns, change the rest of a life. The claim has to account for lifetime care and lost earning capacity, not just the bills so far.
Everyone who made or sold a dangerous product can be held responsible.
Lasting cognitive, memory, and neurological harm.
Paralysis and permanent loss of mobility.
Medical malpractice is a failure to meet the accepted standard of care that causes harm. Nevada requires a qualified medical expert’s affidavit with the complaint (NRS 41A.071) and sets a separate filing deadline for these cases (NRS 41A.097).
Surgical errors, misdiagnosis, and unsafe staffing inside the hospital.
When a medical mistake took someone you love.
Howard Injury Law handles seven types of personal injury cases in Las Vegas: motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, dog and animal attacks, third-party workplace injuries, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, and medical malpractice. Each practice area has its own page explaining who can be held liable and how the claim works.
Most Nevada personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury under NRS 11.190(4)(e). Wrongful death claims generally have two years from the date of death. Medical malpractice claims follow a separate deadline under NRS 41A.097, and claims against a government entity can carry extra procedural requirements, so it is safest to speak with a lawyer early.
Yes, as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Nevada follows modified comparative negligence under NRS 41.141, so your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, and you recover nothing if you were more at fault than the other parties combined.
Only when a third party caused or contributed to the injury, such as another contractor, an outside driver, a property owner, or an equipment manufacturer. Workers’ comp claims against an employer alone, including denials and benefit disputes, are outside the firm’s practice.
Yes. Howard Injury Law is based in Las Vegas and represents injury victims throughout Nevada, including Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, and Reno. The firm also assists injury victims in California, Arizona, and Colorado.
Nothing up front. Case reviews are free, and Howard Injury Law works on a contingency fee, which means you pay no attorney fee unless the firm recovers compensation for you.
