Here are the cases we can help with:
Car accidents happen throughout the Las Vegas valley, but several major intersections and high-traffic corridors repeatedly see heavy crash activity. Henness & Haight’s review of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department data found 18,109 reported traffic collisions in 2025.
Dangerous intersections include Flamingo Road and Rainbow Boulevard, Eastern Avenue and Sahara Avenue, Charleston Boulevard and Lamb Boulevard, Jones Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, and Maryland Parkway and Sahara Avenue.
Boulder Highway is another important local corridor. Henness & Haight has covered its history of serious crashes and pedestrian safety concerns, while roads around the Strip combine dense traffic with tourists who may be unfamiliar with Las Vegas streets. I-15 and the 215 Beltway add high-speed freeway traffic to the mix.
Where your accident happened can affect which police agency investigates it, what businesses or cameras may have captured it, and where a lawsuit proceeds.
If a Clark County car accident case must be filed in state district court, civil cases are handled through the Eighth Judicial District Court, with the Civil Counter at the Regional Justice Center in downtown Las Vegas.

Let our award-winning firm help you manage the aftermath of a car accident that wasn’t your fault. Our experienced auto accident attorneys will navigate the complexities of the legal system for you, so you can rest easy and receive the best compensation possible. We’ll tackle claims to pursue compensation for medical bills, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, lost wages, and property damages. We’ll also work to help protect you from potential future medical expenses.
The value of a Las Vegas car accident case depends on the injuries and losses the crash caused, the available insurance coverage, and how clearly those damages can be proved. Medical expenses, lost income, future treatment, property damage, pain and suffering, and lasting limitations can all affect what you can seek.
The value usually becomes clearer as your medical treatment progresses, and the long-term effects of the crash are documented. Talking with an experienced Las Vegas car crash lawyer can help you identify the losses that belong in your claim and the insurance available to pay them.
Compensatory damages are the most common damages awarded in personal injury law. They’re generally broken into economic and non-economic damages. With a trusted Las Vegas car accident attorney, you may be able to maximize your compensation to quantify the actual loss caused by a vehicle accident and seek compensation for future related medical care.
Refers to the abstract and non-financial losses resulting from an accident and places an economic value on one’s pain and suffering.
These can include:
Compensation you can receive in place of any financial losses you may have experienced because of a car accident, including:
Refers to the abstract and non-financial losses resulting from an accident and places an economic value on one’s pain and suffering. These can include:
Compensation you can receive in place of any financial losses you may have experienced because of a car accident, including:
Nevada follows an at-fault system, so the driver who caused your crash is generally responsible for the resulting losses. Nevada requires drivers to carry at least $25,000 in bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 per accident, and $20,000 in property damage coverage.
Those limits can run out quickly after a serious crash. If your damages exceed the at-fault driver’s coverage, Underinsured Motorist (UM) coverage on your own policy can provide another source of compensation when it applies.
Insurers also tend to make contact early, sometimes before treatment is complete. Henness & Haight can handle those communications, review recorded-statement requests, and identify every available source of insurance coverage.
You can still pursue compensation after a Las Vegas hit and run, even if police never identify the driver. If UM coverage applies, your own policy can provide compensation for covered bodily injury losses.
Your attorney can also investigate the crash using business video, dashcam footage, witnesses, vehicle damage, debris, and police records.
Our Las Vegas hit-and-run accident attorneys can pursue that evidence while handling the uninsured motorist claim with your carrier.
A Nevada car accident claim can involve more than one deadline. The two-year personal injury deadline does not necessarily control insurance or UM/UIM disputes.
| Deadline | Time Limit | Applies To |
| Injury Lawsuit | Generally 2 years | Claim against the at-fault driver |
| Insurance Notice | Policy-specific | Notice to your own insurer |
| UM/UIM Lawsuit | Generally 6 years from the insurer’s refusal to pay | Contract claim against your insurer |
Under NRS 11.190, most Nevada injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. UM/UIM disputes follow different rules because they’re contract claims, while your policy can require notice much earlier.
Have a lawyer review the applicable deadlines early instead of assuming you have two years to handle every part of the claim.
Below are 10 important reminders we give to every client. These simple steps can help protect your health, preserve your claim, and support a successful outcome.
For more than two decades, Henness & Haight’s injury lawyers have recovered millions in settlements and verdicts for clients across Las Vegas. We build powerful, fact-driven cases that shut down insurance company tactics and prove to adjusters and juries alike why our clients deserve full and fair compensation.
Michael D. Haight – Partner & Personal Injury Attorney
As a former defense attorney, co-founder Michael D. Haight has valuable insight into the tactics insurance companies use to handle claims after automobile accidents. A proud Las Vegas native, Mike graduated from Valley High School and has never called anywhere else home. His deep connection to Nevada fuels his passion for fighting for local clients.
Mike’s love to compete is only matched by his passion for rooting for the underdog, and car crash cases provide an arena for both. Insurance companies have all the money and resources, but nothing makes Mike happier than outworking and outthinking them—a mission he’s been successfully carrying out for over 25 years.
Mike has been nationally recognized as a “Top 100 Litigation Lawyer” by the American Society of Legal Advocates and a “Top 100 Trial Lawyer” by The National Trial Lawyers organization. In 2021, he was recognized as a Mountain States “Super Lawyer,” and he was named the “2024 Lawyer of the Year” in personal injury law by the American Institute of Legal Professionals. He has also been awarded an AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest possible rating in terms of both legal ability and ethical standards.
Our attorneys will not rest until justice is achieved for you and your family.
Mark G. Henness – Partner & Personal Injury Attorney
Mark G. Henness has been an attorney for 29 years. His entire career is devoted to standing beside his clients and holding insurance companies accountable for their losses and suffering. His dedication to his clients and exceptional results have earned him recognition as one of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Lawyers and membership in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
Mark has expertise in all car crash injury cases, including injury causation analysis, biomechanical trauma, and human anatomy. His peers often joke that Mark knows as much about the physics, science, and human anatomy surrounding car crash injuries as the doctors who care for Mark’s clients.
Mark’s expertise is invaluable in personal injury cases because insurance companies go to great lengths to deny fair compensation. They often use junk science or untruths to protect themselves from being held liable.
Committed to serving the people, not the powerful… People just like you.
Some of the most common injuries often associated with car accidents include:
As a personal injury law firm, we have developed strong ties to the Las Vegas, Nevada medical community. We can connect you with the health practitioners needed to treat your injuries or discover any hidden conditions.
Seeking medical attention is essential after any serious car crash and can provide you with an accurate assessment of the actual damages you or your loved one have incurred. Any medical records will also provide documented evidence of any injuries sustained due to the accident.
The time it will take for your case to resolve can vary depending on several factors such as:
We will never rush you through the treatment process because we want you to have every opportunity to obtain a full recovery from your injuries before we start negotiating with the insurance company. However, as a general rule, it typically takes anywhere from 3-5 months after your treatment ends to obtain a fair settlement. But stopping your treatment too soon is a massive mistake because this would negatively affect both your long-term health and the value of your case.
While putting a value on a case is never an exact science, our experience has shown five key factors to consider when assessing case value. These are the:
We won’t know the extent of these five factors when you are first injured. As your case moves forward, we will gather all of the evidence needed to prove the extent of these five categories of damages. For example, generally speaking, the longer you treat and the higher your medical bills, the more your case is worth.
We are happy to refer you to excellent doctors and specialists who can help you recover more quickly from your injuries and who can better document your pain and suffering. You need to know that not all doctors are equipped or even want to handle personal injury cases following a car accident. In fact, many “family doctors” will flat out refuse to see you if you have been involved in a personal injury-type case.
Consequently, we often help our clients find medical professionals to fit their treatment needs. Over the years, we have vetted and established relationships with many qualified medical professionals and specialists adept at helping our personal injury clients.
Yes! Please remember to always tell EVERY medical provider you see, even for non-accident-related care, about all of your physical injuries, symptoms, and complaints from head to toe you believe may have been caused by the auto accident. This is important because insurance companies and their lawyers will obtain copies of ALL of your medical records, including non-accident-related care. They will try to use the absence of any reference to the accident or your symptoms in these unrelated medical records to discredit you. Unfortunately, this tactic can be highly effective.
Yes. Always be open and honest with your car accident lawyer and with your doctors about all prior injuries. It is better if your doctors know all about any prior injuries so they can be prepared to address them adequately. Our law office will do the same thing in our negotiations with the insurance company. For instance, prior injuries to a person’s neck or back can make them more susceptible to future injuries.
However, be certain to tell your doctors if any prior injuries were made WORSE because of your car accident. For example, “I had mild back pain before the car wreck, but now my back pain is major.” Also, try to differentiate your present pain symptoms from any you may have had in the past. For example, “I had intermittent dull back pain prior, and now my back pain is sharp and constant.” Or, “I had a prior accident that caused me neck pain, but after this car accident, I now also have low back pain.”
No! Do not talk to any insurance companies, even your own, unless getting prior approval from your car accident attorney.
