Henderson Personal Injury Lawyer
In short: The Ruiz Law Firm is a Henderson-based injury firm that helps people after crashes, unsafe-property incidents, workplace injuries, serious injuries, and wrongful death matters. We review what happened, identify urgent evidence, explain insurance issues, and help you decide the next step. The consultation is free, and there is no attorney fee unless we recover money for you.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Henderson
Henderson injury claims can involve local residents, visitors, workers, rideshare drivers, commercial vehicles, apartment complexes, stores, restaurants, hospitals, construction sites, and multiple insurers. A single incident may involve more than one legal path, especially when a work injury also involves a negligent third party.
Common Henderson matters include:
- Car accidents on I-215, US-95/I-11, Eastern, Stephanie, St. Rose, Boulder Highway, and neighborhood streets.
- Truck accidents involving commercial vehicles, delivery trucks, freight traffic, dump trucks, and company drivers.
- Motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian crashes where visibility, turning movements, speed, and fault are disputed.
- Slip-and-fall and unsafe-property claims at stores, apartments, restaurants, hotels, sidewalks, and parking lots.
- Workers' compensation and possible third-party injury claims.
- Brain injuries, spinal injuries, and wrongful death claims that need careful documentation.
Why Henderson Evidence Matters
The location of the injury affects what proof may exist. A crash near Green Valley, Whitney Ranch, Seven Hills, Anthem, Inspirada, Water Street, Boulder Highway, I-215, or US-95/I-11 may involve different witnesses, video sources, police agencies, traffic patterns, and insurance coverage. A fall at a business may depend on surveillance footage, sweep logs, maintenance records, or incident reports that need to be requested quickly.
We focus on preserving the records that matter: reports, photos, videos, medical records, witness names, property records, vehicle data, employment records, and insurance policies.
Nevada Deadlines and Fault Rules
Nevada generally gives injured people two years to file many personal injury lawsuits under NRS 11.190. Comparative fault is governed by NRS 41.141, which can reduce recovery by the injured person's percentage of fault and can bar recovery at 51% or more fault.
Many claims resolve before a lawsuit, but if a Henderson injury case has to be filed, civil litigation is commonly handled through Clark County courts, including the Eighth Judicial District Court. The right path depends on the facts, parties, insurance, injuries, and deadlines.
What Happens When You Contact Us
We start with a focused case review. We ask where the injury happened, what medical care you received, which insurers have contacted you, what work you missed, and what evidence may still be available. From there, we explain whether the firm may be able to help and what the next practical step should be.
Call (702) 850-1717 through the 24-hour intake line, or request a free case review online anytime. Hablamos espanol.

Before You Call
Common questions, answered
In most Nevada personal injury cases, the filing deadline is generally two years from the date of injury under NRS 11.190(4)(e). Some cases may involve shorter notice issues, so it is better to speak with an attorney early.
No. The Ruiz Law Firm handles personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means there is no upfront attorney fee and no hourly billing — you owe an attorney fee only if we recover money for you. Consultations are free, and fee terms and costs are explained in writing before representation begins.
Nevada uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar under NRS 41.141. If you are 50 percent or less at fault you can still recover, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, and you recover nothing if you are found more than 50 percent responsible. Because insurers often try to inflate your share of fault, evidence such as reports, photos, video, witness statements, and expert analysis is critical.
A claim may include economic losses such as medical bills, future care, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and property damage, plus non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, physical limitations, and loss of enjoyment of life. The value depends on the facts, injuries, insurance coverage, and liability evidence, and we document each category with records.
The firm handles negligence-based injury claims across Southern Nevada, including car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents; slip-and-fall and unsafe-property claims; workers' compensation and third-party work injuries; and serious-injury and wrongful-death cases involving brain or spinal injuries. A single accident can involve more than one legal path, so it is worth reviewing your situation with an attorney.
Yes. The Ruiz Law Firm represents injured people throughout Southern Nevada, including Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, and the wider Clark County area, with consultations available in English and Spanish. This page covers claims in both Las Vegas and Henderson; for citywide Las Vegas claims, see the Las Vegas personal injury attorney page, and for Summerlin claims, the Summerlin personal injury lawyer page.
Get medical care, report the incident to the right agency or property owner, preserve photos and witness information, keep records, and avoid signing releases or giving recorded statements before you understand your rights.
