Introduction
Among the distinctive services Alzate Injury Law provides is the establishment of special needs trusts for clients who receive large personal injury settlements, a financial planning step that most personal injury firms do not offer and that can have significant long-term consequences for clients who rely on government benefits. This trust-creation capability, combined with a 95% success rate and millions recovered for clients, positions the firm as a full-service personal injury practice in Las Vegas rather than one focused solely on the legal claim.
Alzate Injury Law operates from two Las Vegas locations: 375 E Warm Springs Rd, Suite 104, Las Vegas, NV 89119, and 1404 S Maryland Pkwy, Suite 100, Las Vegas, NV 89104. The firm is reachable at 702-900-3773, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Free consultations are available, and the firm operates on a contingency fee basis. The website is alzatelaw.com.
Practice Areas
Motor Vehicle Accidents: The firm handles car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents. Each of these case types involves distinct liability analyses, injury patterns, and insurance structures. Motorcycle accidents, for example, involve different helmet and lane-splitting considerations than car-on-car collisions. Truck accidents involve federal regulations and multiple potentially liable parties. The firm’s breadth across all vehicle-involved accident types means it can handle the full range of claims that arise from Nevada roadways.
Drunk Driving Accidents: When a driver’s intoxication causes an accident, the injured party may have claims not only against the driver but potentially against a bar or restaurant that served the driver. These dram shop liability theories add complexity to drunk driving accident cases and potentially expand the pool of available compensation.
Rideshare Accidents: Uber and Lyft accident cases involve a layered insurance structure that depends on the status of the rideshare driver at the time of the accident: off duty, available but not matched, en route to a pickup, or transporting a passenger. Each status triggers different insurance coverage, and understanding that structure is essential to recovering full compensation.
Bus Accidents: Claims against public transit agencies involve different procedural rules than claims against private parties, including shorter notice requirements in many jurisdictions. These procedural differences can extinguish a valid claim if not addressed promptly.
Dog Bites: Nevada law governs dog bite liability, and the firm handles these cases for clients who sustain injuries from animal attacks.
Medical Malpractice: When healthcare providers depart from the standard of care and a patient is harmed, medical malpractice claims require expert witnesses, detailed medical record analysis, and attorneys who understand both the legal and medical dimensions of the case.
Nursing Home Abuse: Elder abuse in care facilities involves both civil claims and, in some cases, criminal conduct. The firm handles civil claims for nursing home residents and their families.
Premises Liability and Slip and Fall: Property owners in Nevada have obligations to maintain safe conditions for visitors. Slip and fall cases require documenting the hazardous condition, establishing that the property owner knew or should have known about it, and connecting that condition to the client’s injuries.
Casino Injuries: Las Vegas is home to some of the world’s largest hotel-casino properties. Injuries sustained on casino floors, in hotel rooms, around pools, and in parking structures give rise to premises liability claims against some of Nevada’s largest commercial entities. Alzate Injury Law has specific familiarity with claims arising in casino environments.
Workers’ Compensation: Nevada workers injured on the job are entitled to medical treatment and wage replacement benefits. The firm handles workers’ compensation claims as part of its broader injury practice.
Special Needs Trusts: When a client with disabilities receives a substantial personal injury settlement, depositing that money directly can disqualify the client from Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, and other needs-based benefit programs. A properly structured special needs trust holds the settlement funds in a way that preserves eligibility for those benefits while allowing the funds to be used for the client’s supplemental needs. The firm also creates trusts for injured children whose compensation requires protection until they reach adulthood.
Attorney Profiles
The firm is led by attorney Lennie Alzate, whose name the practice carries. The firm’s documented track record includes a 95% success rate, more than 100 satisfied clients, and millions recovered in settlements and verdicts. The 24/7 availability reflects a commitment to accessibility that extends beyond normal business hours, recognizing that accidents happen at all hours and that injured people should not have to wait until Monday morning to speak with their attorney.
Location and Service Area
The firm’s two Las Vegas offices provide geographic coverage across the metropolitan area. The Warm Springs Road location at 375 E Warm Springs Rd, Suite 104, serves the southern portions of the Las Vegas Valley. The Maryland Parkway location at 1404 S Maryland Pkwy, Suite 100, places the firm near the medical corridor and the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus area.
Las Vegas is a 24-hour city, and the firm’s around-the-clock availability at 702-900-3773 acknowledges the reality that clients may need to reach their attorney at any time, including after a late-night accident or a weekend slip and fall on a casino property.
Client Focus
Alzate Injury Law serves injured people across the full range of personal injury scenarios that arise in a large urban environment with heavy traffic, a major tourism and hospitality industry, and the unique characteristics of a casino-centric economy. The firm’s extended practice list reflects the diversity of ways people get hurt in Las Vegas and the surrounding area.
The special needs trust service sets the firm apart for a specific population: clients who rely on government benefits and whose settlement proceeds could disrupt that eligibility if not structured properly. Creating a special needs trust requires both legal knowledge and financial planning awareness. The firm’s ability to provide this service means clients who need it do not have to find separate counsel or a separate financial planner to address this piece of their recovery.
The contingency fee structure means clients pay nothing unless the firm recovers for them. Combined with free consultations and 24/7 availability, this structure removes the practical barriers that might otherwise prevent injured people from getting prompt legal help.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a special needs trust, and why would I need one?
A special needs trust is a legal structure that holds settlement funds for a beneficiary who relies on government benefits such as Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income. Receiving a large sum of money directly can disqualify a person from those programs if their assets exceed the eligibility threshold. A properly drafted special needs trust preserves program eligibility while allowing the funds to be used for the beneficiary’s supplemental needs. Alzate Injury Law creates these trusts for adult clients with disabilities and for injured children who need their settlement funds protected.
Does the firm handle casino injury claims?
Yes. The firm has specific experience with injuries that occur on Las Vegas casino and hotel properties, which are among the most visited venues in the world. Premises liability claims against casino operators involve distinct considerations given the scale of these properties and the sophistication of their legal departments. The firm handles these cases on the same contingency fee basis as other personal injury matters.
What does “24/7 availability” mean in practice?
The firm’s phone line at 702-900-3773 is staffed around the clock. If an accident occurs at 2 a.m. and the injured party is able to make a call, they can reach the firm. This is particularly relevant in Las Vegas, where much of the city’s activity, including its accident risk, occurs outside standard business hours.
What is the contingency fee arrangement?
The firm charges no attorney fees unless it recovers compensation for the client. If the case settles or results in a favorable verdict, the firm receives a percentage of the recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee. Consultations are free.
How does the firm handle rideshare accident cases?
Uber and Lyft maintain different levels of insurance coverage depending on the driver’s status at the time of the accident. The firm analyzes which coverage applies based on the specific circumstances and pursues the maximum available compensation from all applicable sources.
