Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyers

Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyers

Yes. The Ruiz Law Firm is a Henderson-based personal-injury firm that represents injured people throughout Las Vegas and Clark County, from crashes near the Strip and Downtown to falls in resorts, shopping centers, and parking garages across the valley. Wherever the injury happened inside the city, we can review the claim. You can reach the office at (702) 850-1717, and the first consultation is free.

Las Vegas injury claims move quickly. Casino and street-camera footage, police reports, medical records, witness statements, and insurance deadlines can all change the value and direction of a claim within days. We help injured clients understand what needs to be documented, who may be responsible, and what to do before an insurance adjuster controls the story.

Our team handles car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, slip-and-fall, workers' compensation, brain injury, spinal injury, personal injury, and wrongful death matters across the Las Vegas Valley. We keep the process direct: find the available coverage, preserve the useful evidence, coordinate the medical documentation, and explain the next step before you have to make a decision. Hablamos espanol — our Spanish-speaking staff can help you in Spanish, and a Spanish-language version of this page is available.

Where We Help Injured People in Las Vegas

We do not keep a Las Vegas office — the firm is based in Henderson — but we regularly handle claims that arise across the city and the wider valley. Wherever the injury happened in or around Las Vegas, we can review what happened and explain your options.

Common Las Vegas areas and corridors behind the claims we see include:

• The Las Vegas Strip and resort corridor — Las Vegas Boulevard sees constant pedestrian, rideshare, taxi, and resort-shuttle traffic, so crosswalk, valet-lane, and parking-garage incidents are common.
• Downtown, Fremont Street, and the Arts District — dense foot traffic, event crowds, and older intersections where pedestrian and vehicle paths cross.
• Paradise and the Convention Center area — heavy event, hotel, and rideshare congestion around the convention corridor and Paradise Road.
• Spring Valley and the southwest — fast-growing residential and retail areas where surface-street crashes and parking-lot falls happen often.
• The major freeways — I-15, the I-215 Beltway, and US-95, including the I-15/US-95 "Spaghetti Bowl" interchange, where higher speeds and complex merges concentrate the most serious Las Vegas crashes.

How Nevada Injury Law Affects a Las Vegas Claim

A Las Vegas claim is governed by the same Nevada rules as any other valley case. You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (NRS 11.190(4)(e)). Nevada also follows modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar (NRS 41.141), so you can still recover if you are 50% or less at fault, but your award is reduced by your share of fault. And because Nevada's minimum auto liability limits are only $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident, those policies can run out quickly in a serious crash — which is why we look closely at uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.

Most Las Vegas injury claims settle with the insurer before any lawsuit is filed. If a case does have to be litigated, it is generally filed in Clark County's Eighth Judicial District Court, which sits at the Regional Justice Center at 200 Lewis Avenue in Downtown Las Vegas. Our Las Vegas car accident lawyer and Las Vegas personal injury attorneys pages go deeper on how these rules play out in specific cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does The Ruiz Law Firm handle personal injury cases in Las Vegas?

Yes. The Ruiz Law Firm is a Henderson-based personal-injury firm that represents injured people throughout Las Vegas and Clark County, including crashes and falls near the Strip, Downtown and Fremont Street, Paradise and the Convention Center area, Spring Valley, and along the I-15, I-215 Beltway, and US-95 corridors. The office can be reached at (702) 850-1717, and the first consultation is free.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim after a Las Vegas accident?

In Nevada you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (NRS 11.190(4)(e)). Waiting is risky even before that deadline, because surveillance video from casinos, businesses, or traffic cameras can be overwritten, vehicles get repaired or sold, and witnesses become harder to reach. Talking with an attorney early helps preserve the evidence a Las Vegas claim may depend on.

What if I was partly at fault for the accident in Las Vegas?

Nevada follows modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar (NRS 41.141). If you are found 50% or less at fault you can still recover compensation, but your award is reduced by your share of fault; at 51% or more you generally cannot recover from the other party. Insurers often try to inflate an injured person's percentage of fault, which is one reason early evidence and documentation matter.

Where is a Las Vegas injury lawsuit filed?

Most Las Vegas personal-injury lawsuits are filed in Clark County's Eighth Judicial District Court, which sits at the Regional Justice Center at 200 Lewis Avenue in Downtown Las Vegas. Many injury claims settle with insurers before a lawsuit is ever filed, but knowing the correct venue matters if the case has to be litigated. The Ruiz Law Firm handles claims that arise throughout Las Vegas and Clark County.

Do I have to pay anything up front to talk with a Las Vegas injury attorney?

No. The firm works on a contingency basis, meaning there is no attorney fee unless we recover money for you, and the consultation is free. Court costs and case expenses are explained before you sign an agreement. You can request a free consultation online or call (702) 850-1717.
