INJURY ATTORNEYS

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Our Firm

We are a proven accident and injury law firm located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Our firm was founded in Las Vegas and we consider Las Vegas our home. We represent people who have been hurt or injured due to things like car accidents, slip and falls, defective products, and other incidents resulting in serious injuries or death.

Our priority is our clients. We prioritize their wellbeing, and we prioritize their results. This is true of everyone in our firm, and we are proud to have assembled a group of like-minded people. From our founding partners to our exceptional lawyers to our incredible staff, we put our clients first.

OUR PRACTICE AREAS

Car accidents

If you or someone you know was seriously injured in a car accident in the Las Vegas area, our attorneys can help. We understand that car accident injuries can be an overwhelming experience and that you likely have questions and concerns. The attorneys at SJW have significant experience handling all manner of motor vehicle collision cases and are here to help.

Motorcycle accidents

Southern Nevada makes a great home for motorcycle enthusiasts. Whatever your ride, whether it is a cruiser, chopper, sportbike, or adventure bike, Las Vegas and its surrounding areas provide open scenery, relatively well-kept roads, and weather that allows for comfortable riding into late winter. Despite the great things about riding in the Las Vegas area, there are a lot of motorcycle accidents.

Semi truck accidents

If you were hit by a semi-truck while driving in Las Vegas, it is important that you speak with a semi-truck accident lawyer as soon as possible. Unfortunately, even a low-speed crash with a big rig can result in serious injuries. Having an experienced semi-truck injury attorney on your side in these moments can be critical to protecting your rights. If you need to speak with someone about a crash or accident involving a semi-truck or other large vehicle, feel free to call SJW Injury Attorneys in Northwest Las Vegas and one of the partners at our firm will personally speak with you to answer any questions you may have.

Slip and fall accidents

Wrongful Death

While no amount of money can bring back a lost loved one, holding those who caused that loss accountable can help ensure it does not happen to someone else, making our community a safer place. If you are considering legal action, the experienced wrongful death attorneys at SJW are available to discuss how to proceed in this difficult time.

Defective Product

When we buy products, part of what we are paying for is the assurance that the product is safe for its intended use. However, manufacturers and retailers often sell products with defects and errors that make them dangerous to use. Sometimes they continue to sell these products even though they know they are dangerous. If you or someone you know was hurt by a defective product, the injury attorneys at SJW will hold these companies responsible for your injuries.

Casino Injuries

Due to the large variety of entertainment and amenity options in Las Vegas, the facts and circumstances of the hotel and casino-related incidents can vary greatly and so can the resulting injuries. While many casino-related accidents result in minor injuries, many others result in serious injuries. If you, or someone you know, recently suffered from an accident at one of the hotels or casinos in Las Vegas, SJW Injury Attorneys is here to hold the casinos responsible.

AIMEE TWIST

"Amazing results! The best in Las Vegas! I was rear-ended by a drunk driver at a red light. I was hesitant to seek legal representation. It became apparent in the week following my accident that my pain was increasing and I had multiple injuries. It was difficult to get doctors’ offices to even see me once they heard that it was a motor vehicle accident. The auto insurance company offered me a trivial amount of money that I knew wasn’t even going to cover my copays for the treatment I would need. My friend encouraged me to call Shawn & it was the best decision I could have made. Shawn and his team helped me get the medical care I needed. They walked me through every step of the process with patience and respect. I will be sending my friends and family to Shawn. Call him. You will be glad you did."
