Behind every case is a person whose life changed in an instant.
These practice areas represent the situations where I step in to help people protect their rights, pursue accountability, and move forward after an injury.
ADA Injuries & Death
You deserve safe spaces—not excuses.
Living with a disability shouldn’t mean living with fear every time you step into a store, hotel, or office. When businesses skip the ramps, ignore the codes, and put profit over people, someone gets hurt. That someone might be you or someone you love.
Common situations I handle
- You were injured because a ramp, doorway, aisle, step, or restroom was not ADA compliant or safely designed.
- Your wheelchair, walker, or mobility device could not be used safely due to poor layout, narrow paths, or obstacles.
- Staff ignored requests for reasonable accommodations and you were hurt as a result.
- A loved one with a disability suffered a serious injury or death at a property that should have been ADA compliant.
How I help
I evaluate whether ADA rules were violated and how those violations contributed to the injury. I gather records, photographs, and expert input to show where the property or business fell short of its legal obligations. Then I pursue accountability and compensation so you and your family are not left bearing the cost of someone else’s non-compliance.
Auto, Bicycle, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents
One second changed everything.
You were just driving. Just riding your bike. Just crossing the street. Now you are hurt and in pain, the insurance company is playing games, and the bills keep coming or you have not contacted an insurance company yet because you are not sure what to do. You didn’t ask for any of this—but you don’t have to face any aspect alone.
Common situations I handle
- You were hit by a car, truck, motorcycle, or rideshare and now have ongoing pain or limitations. Maybe no health insurance or access to medical care or a doctor quickly.
- You were a passenger when the crash happened and are unsure which insurance company should pay.
- The at-fault driver had little or no insurance, or their carrier is already minimizing your injuries.
- Multiple vehicles were involved and everyone is disputing who caused the collision.
How I help
I step in early to preserve evidence, manage insurance adjusters, and document the full impact of your injuries. I coordinate with your medical providers, identify all available insurance coverage, and build a case that reflects your losses today and in the future. My focus is on obtaining fair compensation while you focus on healing.
Hotel, Casino & Mega-Resort Injuries
Your trip to Nevada shouldn’t end in an ER.
You came to relax, celebrate, or just get away. Instead, you slipped on a wet floor they never marked, fell on stairs they never fixed, or got hurt in a place that was supposed to be safe. Big resorts have big lawyers—you need someone who knows how to push back.
Common situations I handle
- You slipped or tripped on a wet floor, uneven surface, or hidden hazard in a hotel or casino.
- You were hurt in a hotel room, hallway, elevator, escalator, or pool area that was not properly maintained.
- You were assaulted or harmed because security was inadequate or warnings about danger were ignored.
- You were visiting Las Vegas from out of town and now must handle an injury claim from another state.
How I help
I work to secure surveillance footage, incident reports, and maintenance records before they disappear. I analyze how the property’s safety practices fell short and hold owners and operators accountable under Nevada premises liability law. For out-of-state guests, I manage your case locally so you do not have to keep flying back to Vegas.
Public Property & Jail Injuries
The government doesn’t get a free pass.
City sidewalks, county parks, jail facilities—when you’re hurt on public property, they’ll tell you there’s nothing you can do. They’re wrong. Yes, there are special rules and tight deadlines. Yes, I know how to navigate them.
Common situations I handle
- You were injured on city, county, state, or federal property due to unsafe conditions or poor maintenance.
- You or a loved one were hurt in jail or a detention facility because staff used excessive force or failed to supervise.
- Complaints about hazards or dangerous situations were ignored until someone was seriously injured.
- You have been warned there are “special notice requirements” or short timelines and you are unsure how to comply.
How I help
I identify which government entities and employees may be responsible and ensure required notices are served on time. I review records, policies, and prior complaints to show what should have been done differently. My goal is to guide you through a complex process while protecting your rights against powerful public institutions.
U.S. Federal Employee 3rd Party Workers Comp Claims OWCP and DOL
Federal paperwork shouldn’t cost you money.
You’re a federal employee. You got hurt. OWCP is involved, but so is someone else—a contractor, a driver, another company. Now you’re stuck between two systems, unsure if you can pursue both. You can. Let me show you how.
Common situations I handle
- You are a federal employee injured on duty and a contractor, driver, or other non-federal party contributed to the incident.
- You are receiving OWCP benefits but are unsure how a third-party civil claim fits into your situation.
- You worry that pursuing another claim could jeopardize your federal benefits or medical care.
- Multiple insurers and agencies are involved, and you need coordinated guidance so nothing falls through the cracks.
How I help
I review your OWCP file, identify responsible third parties, and coordinate strategy so your benefits and civil claim work together—not against each other. I explain reimbursement, liens, and reporting requirements in plain language so there are no surprises. With careful planning, we aim to maximize your total recovery while staying in compliance with federal rules.
Insurance Bad Faith
You paid for protection. They’re giving you the runaround.
Every month, you paid your premiums. On time. Without question. Now that you need them? Crickets. Delays. Denials. Insultingly low offers. If your own insurance company is treating you like the enemy, it’s time to fight back—and I know how.
Common situations I handle
- You filed a valid claim, but your insurance company keeps delaying, asking for more documents, and never gives you a clear answer.
- You received a settlement offer that is far too low compared to your medical bills, lost wages, and what you’ve been through.
- Your claim was denied based on confusing policy language, “fine print,” or reasons that do not match the facts.
- Your adjuster will not return calls, change their story, or pressures you to accept less than your policy promises.
- You feel like your own insurer is protecting its profits instead of honoring its obligations to you.
How I help
I analyze your policy and claim history to identify where the insurer has failed to act in good faith. I explain your rights in clear, practical terms so you understand what the company should have done—and what can still be done now. When bad faith is present, I pursue the additional damages Nevada law allows, including compensation beyond the original value of the claim.
Premises Liability
You fell because they failed.
Broken stairs. Dark hallways. Spills nobody cleaned. You didn’t trip because you were careless—you fell because someone cut corners. Property owners have one job: keep their spaces safe. When they don’t, I hold them accountable.
Common situations I handle
- You were injured at a business or private property due to unsafe stairs, railings, flooring, or lighting.
- You slipped, tripped, or fell on a hazard the owner knew about—or should have known about—but did not fix or warn you about.
- Debris, clutter, or poor maintenance caused you to fall in a parking lot, walkway, or entrance.
- The property owner is blaming you for “not watching where you were going” instead of accepting responsibility.
How I help
I investigate the condition of the property, including prior incidents, maintenance practices, and safety policies. I work to show what the owner should have done differently and how that failure led directly to your injuries. Then I pursue compensation for your medical care, lost income, and the disruption to your life.
Product Defect
It broke. You got hurt. They knew.
You used it exactly the way you were supposed to. But something went wrong—the product failed, and you paid the price. Big corporations will blame you, the instructions, anyone but themselves. I make them answer for what they put on the market.
Common situations I handle
- A consumer product, tool, vehicle, or medical device malfunctioned and caused burns, fractures, or other serious injuries.
- A product failed without warning even though you used it exactly as the instructions described.
- Important safety warnings were missing, unclear, or buried in fine print.
- A large manufacturer insists nothing is wrong with its product despite what happened to you.
How I help
I examine how the product was designed, made, and marketed to identify design defects, manufacturing flaws, or inadequate warnings. I work with appropriate experts when needed and pursue claims against the responsible companies, not just local retailers. The goal is to obtain compensation and push for safer practices going forward.
Slip/Trip/Hit and Fall Injuries
It wasn’t an accident. It was negligence.
Wet floors. Loose cords. Objects falling from shelves. They’ll call it bad luck. I call it what it is: someone didn’t do their job, and you got hurt. Falls can steal your health, your income, your independence—and someone needs to answer for that.
Common situations I handle
- You slipped on a spill or slick surface in a store, restaurant, or public place that was not cleaned or marked.
- You tripped over cords, loose mats, uneven flooring, or poorly marked steps.
- Merchandise, equipment, or other objects fell and struck you, knocking you down or causing injury.
- The business suggests the fall was your fault, even though the hazard was something you could not reasonably see or avoid.
How I help
I investigate how long the hazard existed, what the business knew or should have known, and what safety procedures were (or were not) followed. I gather evidence quickly, including witness statements and any available video. Then I pursue compensation for your injuries and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Traumatic Brain Injury
They can’t see it. You can’t escape it.
Headaches that won’t quit. Brain fog that won’t lift. A personality that doesn’t feel like yours anymore. Scans say you’re “fine,” but you know you’re not. Brain injuries are invisible to everyone except the person living with them—and I believe you.
Common situations I handle
- You suffered a head injury in a crash or fall and now live with headaches, fogginess, or concentration problems.
- You or a loved one were told it was “just a concussion,” but symptoms are lingering or getting worse.
- You struggle to work, manage daily tasks, or maintain relationships the way you did before the injury.
- Insurers or others are downplaying your brain injury because scans appear “normal.”
How I help
I take the time to understand your symptoms and how they affect your life, often working with treating providers and specialists. I document not just present limitations but the likely long-term impact on your earning capacity and independence. I then advocate for a settlement or verdict that reflects the true, lifelong cost of a traumatic brain injury.
Wrongful Death
They took someone irreplaceable.
No settlement will bring them back. No verdict will erase the pain. But when someone’s negligence steals a life, the family left behind deserves answers, accountability, and support. I walk with grieving families through one of the hardest processes they’ll ever face.
Common situations I handle
- A family member was killed in a crash caused by a drunk, distracted, or reckless driver.
- Your loved one died because a property, business, or government entity failed to keep a location reasonably safe.
- A dangerous product, medical care, or workplace condition led to a preventable death.
- You are unsure who can bring a claim or how any recovery would be shared among family members.
How I help
I carefully review the circumstances of your loss and explain your rights under Nevada’s wrongful death and survival statutes. I handle communication with insurers and defendants so your family does not have to. My role is to pursue accountability and the financial support your family needs, while honoring the memory of the person you lost.
Complex Injury Litigation
It doesn’t fit a category. That doesn’t mean it’s not a case.
Your situation is unique. Maybe it’s complicated. Maybe it involves multiple parties or unusual circumstances. Just because it doesn’t fit neatly into a website tab doesn’t mean you don’t have a claim. Let’s talk—I’ll help you figure it out.
Common situations I handle
- You were injured in a way that doesn’t clearly match any of the categories above, but you believe someone else’s choices played a role.
- You are receiving medical bills or calls from insurance adjusters and don’t know whether you have a claim.
- A friend or family member was hurt, and you are trying to find out whether they should speak with a lawyer.
- You simply feel that “something isn’t right” about what happened and want a professional opinion.
How I help
I start by listening to your story and asking targeted questions to identify any potential claims. I explain, in straightforward language, whether the law offers a remedy and what evidence would be needed. Even if your matter falls outside my practice, I will do my best to point you in a helpful direction.

Ms. Bonifatto is the very reason you’ll never use a billboard injury attorney.

“The same day… the next day… within two months I had a check in hand.
I had previously been in an accident and could not even get an adjuster to call me back so after my most recent accident I called April to handle everything. The same day she had me seeing a doctor, the next day the body shop owners came to my work to start the process of repairing car, and within two months I had a check in hand. It was the easiest process I could have imagined and I didn’t have to worry about any of the process. She handles everything herself and very promptly. I received updates without even having to ask. I can’t imagine ever going with anyone else in the future.

“They fought through all the red tape to get my case handled.
April Bonifatto is by far, one of the most professional, caring, and authentic attorneys I have ever come across. Her handling of my complicated case, having to deal with the Veterans Administration, multiple government ran hospitals, and civilian doctors was impressive. Her staff fought through all the red-tape associated with government entities to ensure my case was handled in a timely manner. I highly recommend her services, and am grateful for all she did for me and my family. Semper Fi! SSgt Jason Brooks, U.S.M.C. (Ret.)

“If all lawyers were like her, I’d have to give up my lawyer jokes.
First of all, I’m not a big fan of lawyers. When I got into a car accident coming home from California seeking out a lawyer was not even a consideration. When I first saw a doctor April was whom my doctor referred me too. I was still skeptical. Fast forward 9 months and having April Bonifatto on my side was absolutely the right decision. She is professional, caring, and has integrity in all she does. I would say we need more lawyers like April. But, if they were all like her I’d have to give up all of my lawyer jokes. April put me at ease after our first call. She kept me updated throughout the process and always had what was best for me in her mind. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where you need an injury lawyer April Bonifatto is the real way to go!

“They never gave up — even when we wanted to.
September of 2021, my wife and I were visiting Vegas as we do several times a year. We had just arrived this trip and were getting our 1st round of drinks when she slipped on a wet spill and sustained a serious knee fracture. My wife’s best friend immediately recommended we contact April who spent a short time doing a case review and took our case. Yes, it took over a year and a half but these two attorneys never gave up. They constantly kept us updated, kept us realistic and kept US in the fight. During the times when my wife wanted to give up the legal battle, they would spend days talking to us showing true concern for her feelings and emotions. I rarely recommend people because I’ve been burned in the past. I’ve met skilled lawyers and I’ve met honest lawyers. April and Adam are both skilled and honest…

“If you need an injury lawyer in Nevada, your search stops here.
If you need an injury lawyer in Nevada, your search stops here! April and her law firm helped me more than I could have hoped for. I was traveling through the state returning home to California and was rear-ended with my wife and dogs in the car. The damage to my car was severe and easy to see, but the bodily injury was harder to judge and was not something I had any experience with. April dealt with me directly throughout the entire process and was an incredible help navigating everything. She helped us get set up with a doctor and handled everything to do with the liable insurance company. She genuinely cared and regularly checked in to see how everyone was feeling and how our injuries were progressing…
