Originally designed to protect employees injured on the job, worker’s compensation in Nevada offers various benefits. These include covering medical treatments, providing temporary total disability benefits if an injury prevents work, reimbursing out-of-pocket expenses such as medication or travel to medical appointments, among others.
Under Nevada law, specifically the Nevada Industrial Insurance Act, coded in Nevada Revised Statutes 616C to 617, injured workers are generally prohibited from suing their employers. Instead, they must file a worker’s compensation claim. This system not only covers accidents but also extends to industrial conditions, which may involve exposure to hazardous environments or repetitive strain injuries where no specific accident occurred.
Navigating the worker’s compensation statutes and regulations can be daunting, often presenting obstacles that may hinder an injured worker from receiving full benefits.
