Las Vegas, Nevada Personal Injury Lawyer Resources

150 articles from our library

Las Vegas injury cases are shaped by two things outsiders rarely think about: a huge transient visitor population and a hospitality economy that generates an unusual volume of premises, slip-and-fall, and assault cases on top of the expected car crashes on I-15, US-95, and the 215 Beltway. When a visitor is injured on the Strip or at a resort, the defendants are typically sophisticated casino operators with in-house legal teams and long-standing relationships with specific defense firms. That changes how you have to prepare a case from day one.

Nevada follows modified comparative fault with a 51 percent bar. If you are 50 percent or less at fault, your damages are reduced by your percentage of blame; at 51 percent or more, you recover nothing. Nevada generally applies a two-year statute of limitations to personal injury claims, but claims against government entities have their own strict notice requirements, and medical malpractice and wrongful death follow different rules. In my 32 years of practice I have watched promising cases die from missed deadlines that could easily have been preserved with an early phone call.

Goldberg & Loren represents injured clients throughout the Las Vegas Valley: Strip incidents, rideshare crashes, trucking wrecks, pedestrian strikes, dog bites, and wrongful death cases. George Goldberg founded the firm after beginning his legal career defending airlines and insurers in 1994 and switching to the plaintiff side in 1996. That background is directly useful in Las Vegas, where adjusters, casino risk managers, and defense firms run a familiar playbook of quick lowball offers, aggressive recorded statements, and surveillance the moment a claim is filed.

Below are our Las Vegas articles on the most common injury claims we handle here, plus FAQs covering questions our Nevada clients ask us most often in a first consultation.

If you were hurt anywhere in Clark County, resident or visitor, we offer a free, no-obligation consultation 24/7. Call us at 1-888-352-9243 and you pay nothing unless we recover money for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was visiting Las Vegas when I got hurt. Can I still file a claim if I live in another state?
Yes. Out-of-state visitors are injured on the Strip and throughout Clark County every day, and Nevada law allows them to bring injury claims just like residents. Most of the work can be handled remotely, and we only need you back in Nevada if your case goes to a deposition or trial, and even then we coordinate travel around your schedule.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Nevada?
Nevada generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file most personal injury lawsuits. Claims against government entities follow shorter notice rules, and medical malpractice and wrongful death cases have their own deadlines. Missing any of these usually ends the case, so do not wait to call.
I slipped and fell at a casino or hotel. Do I have a case?
Possibly. Nevada premises liability law requires proof that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn about it. Casino and hotel cases are heavily surveilled. Video evidence is often the single most important piece of proof, and that video can disappear quickly if a lawyer does not send a preservation letter.
How does Nevada's comparative fault rule work?
Nevada is a modified comparative fault state with a 51 percent bar. If a jury finds you 50 percent or less at fault, your damages are reduced by your percentage of blame; if they find you 51 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters push fault percentages aggressively, so this is one of the first things we fight over on any Nevada case.
What if the other driver was uninsured in Las Vegas?
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is available on Nevada auto policies, and if you carry it, that coverage pays when the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little. These claims still require proof of fault and damages, and insurers contest them just like any other claim.
What does Goldberg & Loren charge for a Las Vegas injury case?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee. We only get paid if we recover money for you. The consultation is free, we advance the costs of investigation and experts, and if we do not win the case you owe us nothing.
