An Overview of Workers’ Compensation Claims in Nevada

Hurt while on the job in Las Vegas or elsewhere in Clark County? It is crucial that you are aware of your rights under Nevada law. You likely have a workers’ compensation claim and should work with experienced injury lawyers who have years of experience handling these types of personal injury claims from a serious workplace accident and can walk you through the workers compensation process. These cases fall under state law. Here are four key points to understand about workers’ compensation laws in Nevada and how to deal with third party claims:

  • All Workers are Covered By Workers’ Comp Insurance: The Nevada Division of Industrial Relations (DIR) explains that virtually all employees in the state are covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Your employer has a duty to obtain and maintain the proper coverage. In turn, you have a duty to notify an employer of an accident that causes a physical injury in a timely manner. Report your workplace accident to your employer right away.  
  • Workers’ Compensation Provides No-Fault Benefits: Workers’ comp in Nevada offers a safety net for people injured or made ill on the job. It is a no-fault system designed to help ensure that injured  receive necessary benefits. You are not required to prove that your employer was “at fault” for a workplace accident to qualify for workers’ comp. 
  • Medical Care and Wage Replacement Can Be Recovered: Central to the workers’ compensation benefits are medical care coverage and wage replacement. Injured workers are entitled to receive all necessary medical treatment related to their workplace injury or illness. Beyond that, if the injury results in time away from work, the worker may be eligible for compensation to replace a portion of their lost wages. For more serious accidents, long-term disability/impairment benefits may also be recovered to cover medical expenses and medical bills, and lost wages from their personal injury claim and work injury claim. 
  • You Have the Right to Appeal a Workers’ Comp Denial: Unfortunately, not all injured workers in Las Vegas are able to get their full and fair workers’ comp benefits paid in a timely manner. Denials happen. You always have the right to appeal a workers’ comp denial. An experienced attorney can help you take action to get justice and recover compensation through workers compensation system and help multiple injury victims and seek compensation and cover lost wages that workers compensation benefits provide. 

YOU MAY HAVE A THIRD PARTY LIABILITY CLAIM AFTER A WORKPLACE ACCIDENT AND WORKERS’ COMPENSATION BENEFITS

Unfortunately, you cannot always pursue compensation for the full extent of your damages through a no-fault workers’ comp claim in Nevada. For example, pain and suffering is not a recoverable damage. However, you may also have an additional cause of action called a third party liability claim. Injured workers also have the right to bring a fault-based claim directly against any negligent third party—meaning a defendant other than their own employer. Some examples of third parties that can be held liable in workplace accident claims in Las Vegas include: 

  • Contractors; 
  • Subcontractors; 
  • Property owners; 
  • Developers; 
  • Equipment manufacturers; and
  • Motorists.
