Henderson & Las Vegas Workers' Comp Lawyer

Every year, thousands of Nevada workers are injured on the job — in construction accidents, warehouse injuries, manufacturing incidents, slip and falls at work, and countless other situations. Nevada's workers' compensation system was designed to provide quick, no-fault benefits to injured employees. But the reality is often very different.

Insurance companies and self-insured employers regularly deny, delay, and dispute workers' compensation claims. Without an experienced Nevada workers' comp attorney in your corner, you may receive far less than you're entitled to — or nothing at all.

Our workers' compensation attorneys understand the Nevada Industrial Insurance Act and how to navigate the claim process, appeal denied claims, and fight for maximum benefits at hearing.

Workers' Comp Benefits Available in Nevada

Under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 616, injured workers may be entitled to the following benefits:

Medical treatment for your work injury

Temporary total disability (TTD) payments while you heal

Temporary partial disability (TPD) if you return to light duty at reduced pay

Permanent partial disability (PPD) lump sum for lasting impairment

Permanent total disability (PTD) for workers unable to return to any employment

Vocational rehabilitation services

Mileage reimbursement for medical appointments

Why Do Workers' Comp Claims Get Denied?

Claiming the injury did not occur at work

Saying the injury is pre-existing

Alleging the worker was under the influence

Questioning whether the injury was reported timely

Using Independent Medical Exams (IMEs) that favor the insurer

Disputing the extent of permanent disability

If your claim has been denied, you have the right to appeal. Our attorneys have successfully overturned countless denied claims.

Can I Also File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

In most cases, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy against your employer. However, if a third party contributed to your workplace injury, you may be able to pursue a separate personal injury lawsuit in addition to your workers' comp claim.

Report Your Injury Immediately

Nevada law requires you to report a workplace injury to your employer within 7 days of the incident. Delays in reporting can jeopardize your claim.

Employer Retaliation Is Illegal

Nevada law prohibits employers from firing, demoting, or otherwise retaliating against employees for filing a workers' compensation claim. If you've experienced retaliation, contact our attorneys immediately.
