About Hillstone Law’s Expansion Into Reno
Our Reno office was established to serve clients across Northern Nevada who need experienced, results driven personal injury representation. Many of our California clients who frequently travel to Nevada encouraged us to expand because they trusted our approach to accident cases. To meet growing demand and to help Nevada residents directly, we opened our Reno office with a team trained in Nevada injury law, local court procedures, and insurance practices.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Reno
Car Accidents
Reno and Sparks have significant accident rates due to freeway congestion, winter weather, and heavy tourism. We handle rear end collisions, intersection crashes, head on impacts, speeding accidents, DUI related collisions, and distracted driving cases.
Ride Share Accidents
We represent Uber passengers, Lyft passengers, ride share drivers, and people hit by ride share vehicles. Nevada’s insurance structure for ride share incidents is different from California, so proper handling is essential.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks travel heavily through I-80, US-395, and industrial corridors. We gather trucking logs, maintenance records, black box data, and company safety compliance information.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists in the Reno region face risks due to visibility issues, speeding drivers, poor weather conditions, and unsafe lane changes. We build strong cases based on roadway conditions and driver negligence.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Reno has growing pedestrian and bicycle activity. We collect surveillance footage, witness statements, impact analysis, and scene evidence to support these claims.
Premises Liability and Slip and Fall Accidents
We represent victims injured due to unsafe property conditions including wet floors, damaged flooring, poor lighting, missing railings, and improperly maintained commercial or residential spaces.
Dog Bite Injuries
Nevada victims have the right to pursue compensation when a negligent dog owner fails to prevent an attack. We build liability cases using medical records, witness accounts, and owner responsibility.
Wrongful Death Cases
Our Reno team supports families dealing with the loss of a loved one caused by negligence and fights for financial and emotional compensation.
Catastrophic Injury Cases
We represent victims suffering from traumatic brain injuries, spine injuries, fractures, burns, amputations, and life altering disabilities.
Nevada Personal Injury Law: What Reno Victims Need to Know
Statute of Limitations
Most Nevada injury cases must be filed within two years. The deadline may differ for minors or injuries discovered later.
Comparative Negligence
Nevada follows a modified comparative fault system. Victims can still recover compensation if they are less than 50 percent responsible for the accident.
Medical Treatment Rules
Nevada requires clear documentation showing injuries are connected to the accident. We coordinate with trusted local medical providers to ensure documentation is consistent and accurate.
Insurance Requirements in Nevada
Nevada’s minimum insurance coverage limits are often low. We identify every possible coverage source including commercial policies, ride share coverage, umbrella insurance, and MedPay.
