When your life is disrupted by an accident or work-related injury, knowing where to turn can be overwhelming. You may be entitled to compensation if you were injured in a car crash on I-80, hurt on the job at one of Lovelock’s mining or agricultural operations, or dealing with lasting pain from a slip-and-fall. Personal injury and workers’ compensation laws in Lovelock exist to protect you and help you rebuild. Your health, income, and peace of mind are too important to leave to chance. That’s where Kidwell & Gallagher Injury Lawyers come in.
Our team of attorneys at Kidwell & Gallagher Injury Lawyers | Personal Injury Attorney want to hear from you. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, wrongful death, motorcycle accident, or have suffered another type of personal injury contact our team today for a free consultation.
Navigating legal claims after an injury can feel like another burden in a difficult time. We understand that. Our firm helps injured individuals and families in Lovelock pursue fair compensation through personal injury claims and workers’ compensation benefits. These legal pathways aren’t identical, but they aim to secure the support you need after suffering harm.
A personal injury case typically arises when someone else’s negligence, such as reckless driving or a property hazard, causes harm. On the other hand, workers’ compensation provides wage replacement and medical coverage to employees who are injured on their job, regardless of who is at fault.
Our job is to help you determine what kind of claim you may have, guide you through the process, and advocate for your financial and physical recovery. We’ve walked this road with many before you—always with honesty, clear communication, and relentless pursuit of what’s fair.
Many injured individuals hesitate to pursue legal action because they’re unsure whether their case “counts.” Here’s how to start evaluating:
You may have a valid personal injury claim if:
You may qualify for workers’ compensation if:
The Nevada Department of Business & Industry states that injured employees have specific rights, including the ability to appeal denied claims and request independent medical evaluations. Understanding these rights early can make a difference in your outcome.
While both types of cases focus on injury and recovery, the laws governing them—and the compensation available—differ significantly:
We help you make informed decisions based on your situation. If you’re dealing with both types of injury—you were hit by a negligent driver while making a delivery for work—you may be entitled to pursue both claims.
Understanding the compensation available helps set realistic expectations after an injury. While every case is different, you may be entitled to various forms of financial recovery depending on the type of claim and the extent of your injuries. In Lovelock, typical compensation may include:
We help you identify what you’re eligible for and ensure nothing is left on the table.
Legal representation matters—but working with a local attorney matters even more. Lovelock isn’t Las Vegas. Your case will likely go through the Sixth Judicial District Court or the Nevada Workers’ Compensation Hearings Division, depending on the type of claim. We know the court procedures, the common delays, and the insurers that operate in this region.
More importantly, we know the community. We’ve worked with injured employees from local farms and casinos, drivers navigating Lovelock’s rural roads, and families who never thought they’d need a lawyer. We speak your language, understand your daily life, and advocate with those realities in mind.
Unlike firms based hours away, we’re available for face-to-face meetings when you need clarity, not confusion.
The aftermath of a serious injury can leave you facing bills, pain, lost work, and questions. You deserve support from a team that prioritizes your recovery over case numbers. Our firm believes in proactive, transparent communication. We don’t flood you with legalese—you’ll understand each step and how it impacts your future.
We also stay current with Nevada’s evolving legal standards. For example, when dealing with work injuries, we utilize guidance from the Nevada State Bar’s Lawyer Referral and Information Service, which outlines employer obligations and the rights of injured workers under state law. This ensures your claim aligns with current standards and avoids common pitfalls.
Whether your injuries stem from a car wreck, workplace accident, or unsafe premises, we’re here to ensure you’re treated fairly and compensated justly.
Don’t know where to start? That’s okay. Many clients come to us unsure, overwhelmed, and uncertain of their options. We offer free consultations to walk you through your rights and next steps.
We won’t make you chase updates, dig through legal paperwork alone, or settle for less than you deserve. When we take your case, we mean it.
At Kidwell & Gallagher Injury Lawyers, we’re proud to serve Lovelock and the surrounding areas with integrity and compassion. Our mission is to help injury victims reclaim control over their lives—and we’re ready to help you too.

If your injury happened at work, you may qualify for workers’ compensation. If it was caused by someone else’s negligence, like a car accident or unsafe property, you may have a valid personal injury claim. Our team can help you determine the best path forward.
Depending on your case, you may be eligible for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and more. We’ll evaluate your situation to ensure you recover everything you’re entitled to.
Personal injury claims require proving fault and may include compensation for pain and suffering. Workers’ comp does not require fault but only covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages. In some cases, you may qualify for both.
A local attorney understands the courts, insurers, and legal processes unique to Lovelock. We know the community, the local employers, and how to navigate the system efficiently to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
