Yes. Nevada law applies to all crashes on state and federal highways within Clark County, including US 93 and Interstate 11 near Boulder City. If another driver’s negligence, a commercial carrier’s failure to follow federal safety regulations, or a road hazard caused your injury, you have the right to pursue compensation. Highway crashes on these corridors tend to be severe, and the evidence, including vehicle data, trucking logs, and witness accounts, needs to be preserved quickly. The sooner you contact an attorney, the stronger your case will be.
Get The Win Injury Lawyers Serving Boulder City, Nevada
Boulder City is unlike any other community in Southern Nevada. It is the only city in the state where gambling is prohibited. It was built in 1931 to house the workers who constructed Hoover Dam, and it has maintained its small-town character ever since. With around 15,500 residents, it is quiet, close-knit, and set apart from the pace of the Las Vegas Valley.
But Boulder City is not without risk. US Highway 93 and Interstate 11 connect the city to the rest of Southern Nevada and carry a constant flow of commuters, commercial trucks, and tourists heading to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Those roads have a documented history of serious and fatal crashes. And inside the city, residents face the same everyday hazards as anywhere else: property owners who do not maintain safe conditions, dog owners who do not control their animals, and drivers who are not paying attention.
If you were injured in Boulder City because someone else was careless, you have rights under Nevada law and a deadline to act on them.
At Get The Win Injury Lawyers, we represent people injured in Boulder City and throughout Clark County. We know Nevada law, we know these roads, and we know how to get you the compensation you deserve.

COMMON PERSONAL INJURIES IN BOULDER CITY
What types of injury cases do we handle in Boulder City? Boulder City’s injury situations are shaped by two very different environments: the quiet residential community inside city limits, and the high-speed highway corridors connecting it to Las Vegas, Henderson, and Arizona. Both create real personal injury risk for residents and visitors. Here are the most common cases we handle.
CAR ACCIDENTS
US Highway 93 and Interstate 11 are the primary routes in and out of Boulder City, and both carry serious accident risk. US 93 has been ranked among the most dangerous highways in the country, with 70 fatal crashes and 90 deaths recorded in a recent six-year study period. The road brings thousands of tourists heading to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead through Boulder City daily, many of them unfamiliar with Nevada roads and highway conditions. Interstate 11 near Boulder City has seen fatal wrong-way and head-on crashes involving suspected impairment. When you are hurt in a crash on these highways, we act immediately to preserve evidence and build the strongest possible case.
SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS
Boulder City’s downtown businesses, restaurants, and retail properties may be smaller in scale than the rest of the valley, but the legal obligation to maintain safe premises is exactly the same. Wet floors, uneven sidewalks, poor lighting outside businesses, and neglected walkways at residential properties throughout Boulder City all create conditions for serious falls. Property owners who know about a hazard and fail to fix it are liable for the injuries that result. We investigate, document, and pursue the full cost of your recovery.
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
The roads leading into and out of Boulder City attract riders, and US 93 and the routes toward Lake Mead and Hoover Dam are popular with motorcyclists. Crashes on these roads tend to be severe because of the highway speeds involved. Inside Boulder City, driver inattention at intersections and in parking areas causes crashes that leave riders with serious injuries. Insurance companies default to blaming the rider. We fight back with evidence and pursue compensation that reflects the real cost of your recovery.
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS
Boulder City’s walkable downtown and residential streets mean residents spend time on foot throughout the community. Tourist traffic near Hoover Dam and the Historic District brings drivers who are unfamiliar with local pedestrian patterns. Drivers who are distracted, speeding through residential neighborhoods, or navigating unfamiliar streets near the downtown area put pedestrians at risk. When a driver hurts someone on foot in Boulder City, we pursue full accountability for every cost that follows.
WORKPLACE INJURIES
Boulder City’s workforce includes city government employees, healthcare workers at Boulder City Hospital, construction workers on local and regional projects, and a significant number of residents who commute to Las Vegas for work. When a workplace injury goes beyond what workers’ compensation covers, or when contractor negligence or defective equipment played a role, additional claims are often available. We identify every responsible party and pursue every avenue of compensation under Nevada law.
DOG BITES
Boulder City’s parks, walking trails, and residential neighborhoods are dog-friendly spaces where encounters between dogs and people are a daily occurrence. Nevada holds dog owners strictly liable for bite injuries under NRS 202.500 regardless of prior bite history. Children, neighbors, delivery drivers, and visitors exploring the community are all potential victims. We handle documentation and pursue the complete cost of recovery, including any ongoing medical treatment or counseling.
RIDESHARE ACCIDENTS
Rideshare services operate in Boulder City connecting residents to Las Vegas and transporting tourists between the city, Hoover Dam, and other regional destinations. When a rideshare driver causes a crash, which insurance policy applies depends on the driver’s status in the app at the moment of the collision. We handle these cases regularly, know exactly how coverage works under each scenario, and fight to recover every dollar available.
TRUCK ACCIDENTS
Commercial trucks travel US 93 and Interstate 11 constantly, carrying goods between Las Vegas, Henderson, Arizona, and beyond. When a large vehicle is involved in a serious crash near Boulder City, the company behind it typically has its own investigators and legal team responding quickly. We move at the same pace, know federal trucking regulations inside and out, and hold both the driver and the employing company fully accountable for the harm they caused.
What Should I Do Right Now After My Boulder City Injury?
Boulder City is a small community, which means resources and emergency response may feel more accessible here than in Las Vegas. But the legal steps you need to take after a personal injury are just as time-sensitive. Here is exactly what to do.
Step 1:
Get medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay
Pain is not always immediate after an injury. Concussions, spinal damage, and internal bleeding can take hours or days to become apparent. Getting evaluated right away creates the medical record that connects your injuries directly to what happened. Without it, the insurance company will argue your injuries came from somewhere else or are not as serious as you say.
Step 2:
Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company.
The adjuster calling you has one objective: to gather information that reduces or eliminates what they owe you. You are not legally required to give a recorded statement to the other party's insurer. Tell them your attorney will be in touch. If you have not hired one yet, that call needs to happen first.
Step 3:
Document everything while details are still clear.
Photograph the location where you were hurt, any vehicles involved, visible injuries, road conditions, and contributing hazards. Write down what happened in your own words as soon as possible. If the injury happened on US 93 or Interstate 11, note the mile marker, road conditions, and any commercial vehicle details including company names on the vehicle. Get the contact information of any witnesses before they leave.
Step 4:
Call us before responding to anything else.
Once you hire Get The Win Injury Lawyers, we handle all communication with the insurance company immediately. Whether your injury involved a car accident on US 93, a truck crash on Interstate 11, a slip and fall at a Boulder City property, or any other situation, we start protecting your rights from the moment you call.
Step 5:
Do not accept any early settlement offer or sign a release.
Quick offers are designed to close your claim before you understand what it is worth. Once you sign a release, you cannot pursue additional compensation even if your injuries require ongoing treatment or extended time away from work. Know the full picture before any number is finalized.
Step 6:
Act quickly because evidence in Boulder City injury cases disappears fast.
On highway crashes, vehicle data, trucking logs, and camera footage from nearby businesses are all time-sensitive. Nevada law gives you 2 years under NRS 11.190(4)(e) to file a personal injury claim, but the evidence that wins your case will not last nearly that long. Call (702) 867-8900 now so we can preserve what matters before it is gone.
What Causes Most Personal Injuries in Boulder City?
Boulder City’s injury causes are distinct from the rest of Clark County. The combination of high-speed highway corridors, heavy tourist traffic, and a small residential community creates a specific set of risks that locals and visitors alike need to understand.
US Highway 93 and Interstate 11 hazards
US 93 connecting Boulder City to Las Vegas and Arizona is one of the most documented dangerous highways in the country. The road is mostly two lanes, with limited barriers and sharp curves, and carries thousands of tourists, commuters, and commercial trucks daily. Interstate 11 near Boulder City has seen fatal wrong-way crashes involving suspected DUI. In June 2024, two people were killed in a wrong-way head-on crash on Interstate 11 near mile marker 6, about eight miles from Boulder City. Long stretches between services, high speeds, and the mix of unfamiliar tourist drivers with heavy truck traffic make these corridors consistently dangerous. Car accidents and truck accidents on these highways are among the most serious cases we handle.
Tourist traffic near Hoover Dam and Lake Mead
Hoover Dam draws over seven million visitors annually, and a significant portion of that traffic travels through Boulder City. Tourists who are unfamiliar with local roads, distracted by navigation apps, or fatigued from long drives create elevated crash risk on the routes between Boulder City, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Car accidents involving tourist drivers are a recurring reality for Boulder City residents who share these roads every day.
Commuter fatigue on highway routes
Approximately half of Boulder City’s residents commute to Las Vegas or Henderson for work. That daily drive on US 93 and Interstate 11 involves high speeds, limited passing options, and routes that demand sustained attention. Driver fatigue, distraction, and impairment are consistent factors in crashes on these corridors. When a commuter crash causes serious injuries, we work quickly to establish what happened and who is responsible.
Negligent property maintenance in the community
Boulder City’s downtown businesses, rental properties, and residential areas carry the same premises liability obligations as any other Nevada community. Wet floors at local restaurants, broken pavement at shops along Nevada Way, inadequate lighting at rental properties, and poorly maintained walkways all create slip and fall hazards. The smaller scale of Boulder City does not reduce the legal duty property owners carry or the seriousness of the injuries that result when they fail to meet it.
Outdoor recreation injuries
Boulder City’s proximity to Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Bootleg Canyon, and the Historic Railroad Trail means outdoor recreation injuries are more common here than in other Clark County communities. Bicycle accidents on trail approaches, crashes near trailheads, and incidents at recreational facilities around Lake Mead all create personal injury situations. When those injuries result from someone else’s negligence, such as a driver who failed to yield near a trailhead or a facility that failed to maintain safe conditions, you have a legal right to pursue compensation.
Impaired driving on isolated highway stretches
The relative isolation of US 93 and Interstate 11 means impaired drivers are sometimes on these roads for long stretches before anyone intervenes. Under NRS 42.001, crashes caused by drunk or drug-impaired drivers open the door to punitive damages beyond standard compensation. When impairment contributed to your injury, the financial accountability for the at-fault driver can be significantly higher than in a standard negligence case.
Dog attacks in residential areas
Boulder City’s residential neighborhoods and park system are places where dogs and people share space daily. Nevada’s strict liability law under NRS 202.500 holds owners fully responsible for bite injuries regardless of prior aggression history. Dog bite injuries in Boulder City neighborhoods and walking areas range from lacerations and permanent scarring to nerve damage and lasting psychological harm.
Uninsured and underinsured drivers
Nevada’s high rate of uninsured drivers is a statewide problem, and the tourist and commuter traffic through Boulder City means encounters with inadequately insured motorists are a real risk. If the driver who hurt you lacked sufficient coverage, your own UM/UIM protection under NRS 690B.020 may fill the gap. Many victims do not know to look for this option. We identify every available source of compensation from the start of every case.
Nevada Laws That Protect Injury Victims in Boulder City
Whether your injury happened inside Boulder City or on the highways connecting it to the rest of Southern Nevada, Nevada law protects your right to pursue compensation. Here is what the law says.
The 2-Year Filing Deadline: NRS 11.190(4)(e)
Nevada gives you 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. That deadline does not pause for treatment or insurance negotiations. It does not extend because you did not know it existed. When it passes, your right to sue is permanently gone regardless of how clear the liability is.
Comparative Negligence: NRS 41.141
You can still recover compensation as long as your share of the fault is 50 percent or less. Your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage, not eliminated. On highway crashes especially, insurance companies aggressively try to push victim fault percentages above 50 percent to eliminate claims entirely. We address that directly with documented evidence of what actually happened.
Premises Liability: Property Owner Duty of Care
Every business and property owner in Boulder City is legally required to maintain reasonably safe conditions. When they know about a hazard and fail to address it, they are liable for the injuries that follow. This applies to slip and fall accidents at local businesses, recreational facilities near Lake Mead, and residential rental properties throughout the community.
Strict Dog Bite Liability: NRS 202.500
Nevada holds dog owners strictly liable for bite injuries in public places or anywhere the victim has a legal right to be. Prior bite history is not a defense. If their dog bit you in Boulder City, they are responsible for the full cost of your injuries. Dog bite cases are fully covered by this statute regardless of community size.
Punitive Damages: NRS 42.001
When the at-fault party acted with deliberate recklessness, such as a drunk driver on US 93 or a company that knowingly ignored a serious safety violation, Nevada law allows for punitive damages under NRS 42.001. In bad faith insurance cases, those damages carry no cap. Most personal injury cases do not need this argument, but when it applies it significantly changes the value of your claim.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage: NRS 690B.020
If an uninsured or underinsured driver caused your injury on US 93, Interstate 11, or anywhere in Boulder City, your own auto policy may cover the gap. Nevada law requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage to every policyholder. Many people do not realize they have it or know how to access it. We identify every available source of compensation including coverage most victims never think to check.
Nevada’s 2-Year Statute of Limitations
In a small community like Boulder City, people sometimes handle injury matters informally, through conversations with neighbors, property owners, or insurance companies, without realizing there is a hard legal deadline running in the background the entire time.
Under NRS 11.190(4)(e), Nevada gives you exactly 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. That clock starts the day the injury happens. It does not pause while you treat, negotiate, or wait for a resolution. When it expires, courts will not hear your case. The strength of your evidence and the clarity of the other party’s fault do not matter once the deadline has passed.
A client came to us 22 months after a slip and fall injury. She had been dealing with the property’s insurance company throughout and had no idea there was a legal cutoff. We had 8 weeks to act. We filed, protected her rights, and she ultimately recovered $95,000. A few months later, that outcome would not have been possible.

Frequently Asked Questions for Boulder City Personal Injury Lawyers
I was injured on US 93 or Interstate 11 near Boulder City. Do I have a case?
A tourist from out of state caused my accident in Boulder City. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. Nevada law allows you to pursue a personal injury claim against an out-of-state driver who caused your injuries within Nevada. Their insurer, whether based in Arizona, California, or anywhere else, is still required to respond to valid Nevada injury claims. Out-of-state and tourist driver cases do require specific handling because the at-fault party may leave the state quickly and certain evidence needs to be secured before they do. We handle these cases and know exactly what steps to take to protect your claim.
My injury happened near Hoover Dam or Lake Mead. Does the federal jurisdiction complicate things?
It depends on exactly where the injury occurred. Hoover Dam and Lake Mead National Recreation Area involve federal land managed by the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service. Injuries on federal property can involve different procedures and shorter filing deadlines than standard Nevada personal injury claims. If you were hurt in these areas, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible to make sure the right claim process is followed. We handle cases involving federal land adjacent to Boulder City and can advise you on the correct steps for your specific situation.
How does Nevada's comparative negligence law apply to highway crashes near Boulder City?
Under NRS 41.141, you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault for a crash, as long as your share of the fault is 50 percent or less. Your recovery is reduced proportionally by your fault percentage. On highway crashes involving high speeds and multiple vehicles, insurance companies aggressively try to assign more fault to the victim to reduce or eliminate payouts. Having an attorney who understands Nevada law and can document what actually happened is the most effective counter to that strategy.
Can I afford a personal injury attorney if I live in Boulder City?
Yes. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and nothing unless we win your case. Our fee comes as a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we do not win, you owe us nothing. This means Boulder City residents have access to the same level of experienced legal representation as anyone in the Las Vegas Valley regardless of their financial situation.
Boulder City is a small community. Will my case be treated with the same attention as a Las Vegas case?
Absolutely. The size of the community has no bearing on the seriousness of your injuries or the value of your claim. We represent clients throughout Clark County and treat every case, from the smallest community to the largest city in the valley, with the same level of preparation and commitment. Boulder City residents deserve the same quality of legal representation as anyone else in Southern Nevada, and that is exactly what we provide.
