Sun Valley sits just north of Reno, a community where families, commuters, and small businesses all share the same narrow stretch of road. Life here is steady, but injuries can happen in ways that quickly unravel that sense of normalcy.

At Law Offices of Steven J. Klearman & Associates, attorney Steven J. Klearman and his team help clients rebuild after these kinds of setbacks. We’ve represented injured Nevadans for decades, using careful preparation and clear communication to guide every step of the process.

What We Do as Your Personal Injury Lawyer

A serious injury turns everyday life into a list of new problems to solve. Our job is to take on the legal side so clients can focus on getting better.

• Investigate the Cause of the Injury: We gather evidence early to establish how the injury happened and who is legally responsible.
• Calculate the Full Value of Losses: Beyond medical bills, we account for future treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and the long-term costs of recovery. Our goal is to reflect the true impact of the injury, not just the short-term expenses.
• Communicate with Insurance Companies: We handle all correspondence with insurers, adjusters, and opposing counsel to prevent clients from being pressured into early or unfair settlements.
• Negotiate & Pursue Settlement: Every case is prepared as if it will go to trial, which strengthens our position in negotiations. When a fair settlement isn’t possible, we are ready to move forward in court.
• Coordinate Medical Care & Documentation: We work closely with doctors, specialists, and rehabilitation providers to ensure consistent medical records, which are essential for treatment and case valuation.

The Types of Injury Cases We Handle

We help people who have been seriously hurt, even in situations where responsibility isn’t clear or may be shared. Each case is different, but most begin with a single event that changes everything: a crash, a fall, or a sudden act of negligence that leaves someone hurt and uncertain about what comes next.

We help clients recover compensation in cases involving:

• Motor vehicle accidents, including car, truck, motorcycle, and bus crashes
• Premises liability, such as slips, trips, and falls on unsafe property
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents, often caused by poor lighting or careless driving
• Dog bites and animal attacks, especially those involving children or repeated incidents
• Catastrophic injuries, including spinal, brain, or burn trauma requiring long-term care
• Wrongful death, where families seek accountability and financial security after a loss

Protecting Pedestrians, Cyclists, & Other Vulnerable Road Users

Traffic safety is a growing concern in Sun Valley. Washoe County data shows a rise in injuries among pedestrians and cyclists. On busy corridors like Sun Valley Boulevard, this imbalance points to a simple truth: roads built for speed often fail to protect the people using them.

Attorney Klearman is an avid cyclist who understands firsthand how quickly a ride can turn dangerous when drivers or infrastructure fall short. When negligence contributes to a crash, we pursue accountability from every responsible party, whether that’s a driver, a property owner, or a public agency tasked with maintaining safety.

Legal Representation for Injuries in Parks & Outdoor Areas

Sun Valley’s open spaces, including the Sun Valley Regional Park, give residents plenty of room for hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities. Those same areas can also create real risks when trails are neglected, equipment fails, or safety measures are overlooked.

We handle claims involving:

• Faulty or poorly maintained recreational equipment
• Unsafe trail conditions and unmarked hazards
• Inadequate supervision or training during guided activities
• Negligent property maintenance that causes falls or collisions

These cases can be complex because responsibility may rest with more than one party. Sometimes it’s a public agency; other times, a private company that manages or maintains the area. Our work focuses on identifying every responsible entity and holding them accountable so that injured clients aren’t left bearing the cost of unsafe conditions.
