I can't say enough about Kathleen Mangan and her team. I had a very difficult divorce situation which included needing a protection order and from the first moment I contacted Kathleen and her team, my anxiety was reduced. Not only did it take a fraction of the time I expected it to, the communication I received the entire time was top notch. She empowered me to be strong and do what was necessary to cross the finish line successfully while at the same time ensuring my safety. If you need an attorney who will ensure your best interests are at the forefront, who will take the time to educate you along the way on what your responsibility is and who truly has the expertise needed to successfully navigate the judicial system requirements effectively, then you want Kathleen and her team. Worth every penny and they will be on my list of my things to be thankful for every year from this point on! I wish they had a scale that went higher than 5 star here - Kathleen and her team more than exceeded my expectations and I would give them a million stars!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Janet! You were such a joy to work with and the entire staff adores you!

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Reno

Many collisions in Northern Nevada are caused by negligent or reckless driving behaviors. Our firm regularly represents victims in cases involving:

Distracted driving accidents (texting, phone use, or other inattention behind the wheel)
Hit-and-run collisions in Reno where negligent drivers flee the scene
Drunk driving and DUI accidents in Reno involving intoxicated motorists
Serious crashes requiring a semi-truck accident lawyer for commercial vehicle cases

If you’ve been injured in any type of motor vehicle accident, our team of Reno car accident attorneys will investigate the cause, hold negligent drivers accountable, and fight to maximize your recovery.

What To Do After a Car Accident in Nevada

Under Nevada law, drivers involved in an accident must:

Stop and remain at the scene
Provide information and render assistance if possible
Notify the owner of any unattended property damaged in the accident
Report the crash to law enforcement

After leaving the scene, it is important to:

Notify your insurance company and provide a clear account of what happened
Obtain a copy of the police accident report
Take photos of the scene, vehicles, road signs, and injuries
Seek immediate medical attention and keep detailed medical records
Obtain an estimate of your property damage
Contact a qualified Reno car accident lawyer to protect your rights

Why Photos Are Critical Evidence in Car Accident Claims

Photographs are often one of the most powerful forms of evidence in a car accident claim. Pictures can help prove liability, document your injuries, and capture important details that may fade from memory over time. Be sure to photograph:

The scene of the accident and surrounding area
Vehicle damage
Visible injuries
Traffic signs and road conditions
Witnesses and their contact information
The responding officer and police vehicle

These images can be critical in supporting your personal injury claim and strengthening your case.

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Our Reno personal injury attorneys represent clients in a wide range of motor vehicle accident cases, including:

Drunk driving accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Hit-and-run collisions
Motorcycle crashes
Rear-end accidents
Semi-truck and commercial vehicle accidents
Wrongful death claims involving motor vehicle accidents

We proudly serve clients in Reno-Sparks, Carson City, Incline Village, and across Northern Nevada.

Why You Should See a Doctor After a Car Accident

Not all injuries appear immediately after a crash. Some, such as concussions, internal injuries, or soft-tissue damage, may take hours or even days to reveal themselves. That’s why it is important to seek medical treatment within 24 hours of your accident.

Early medical screening helps:

Identify hidden injuries
Link your injuries directly to the accident through medical records
Prevent insurers from disputing your need for medical care
Provide documentation for your personal injury claim

Common symptoms after a car accident include headaches, neck or back pain, numbness, abdominal pain, swelling, and behavioral changes. Don’t ignore these signs. Visit a medical professional as soon as possible.

Recognizing Delayed Car Accident Injuries

In many cases, adrenaline masks pain after a crash, causing injuries to surface later. Symptoms such as stiffness, swelling, or limited mobility may appear days or even weeks after the accident. Some conditions, like concussions, can take hours to manifest.If you begin to feel new symptoms following a car accident, seek medical care promptly. Your health comes first. Proper documentation ensures your Reno car accident attorney can fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Recovering Economic Damages After a Car Accident

Car accidents often leave victims facing overwhelming economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and the cost of ongoing treatment. Our experienced car accident lawyers in Reno, NV carefully gather evidence — including accident reports, medical records, and witness testimony — to prove the full extent of your losses.

When you file a personal injury claim in Reno, NV, you may be able to recover compensation for:

Emergency and long-term medical care

Vehicle repair or replacement costs
