Some claimants may have grounds for additional legal action for recovery beyond what workers\u2019 compensation offers.<\/p>\n<p>A work injury attorney can help navigate these issues, strengthen an injured employee\u2019s initial claim, and help an injured employee navigate any necessary appeals regarding his or her claim.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cost\"><strong>How Much Does a Workers\u2019 Compensation Lawyer Cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We understand how challenging it can be to delve through finances after sustaining a work injury, and figuring out how to pay for an attorney is not something you should have to do. Our team handles these claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that work injury victims will not have to pay any upfront or out-of-pocket costs related to the case. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our team handles all of that on their behalf.

These steps include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Immediately report the injury<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is critical that you report the work injury as soon as possible. Nevada requires that a worker notify their employer of their injury within seven days and file a claim for compensation within 90 days.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Seek medical care as soon as possible<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Regardless of the injury severity, it is important for individuals to go to the doctor as soon as possible. A medical diagnosis for an injury can provide you with proper treatment options, and it also starts the documentation process with your employer for the work injury for insurance purposes and investigations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Document everything<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You need to keep a record of anything that happens from the moment you are injured onward. This includes gathering witnesses to the accident, possibly taking photographs at the accident scene, and keeping a record of all details of the communication with your employer and the events that follow.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Follow medical instructions<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You need to continue all directions from a doctor until you have reached what is considered maximum medical recovery. If you discontinue medical treatment at any point before the doctor recommends doing so, this could jeopardize your claim.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Follow all claim filing procedures<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You need to make sure that you meet every deadline for filing workers&#8217; compensation claims in Nevada. This includes keeping track of any deadlines for filing appeals if your claim is denied or if you do not receive as much compensation as you think you should. Your work injury lawyer can help you understand your deadlines.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Las-Vegas-Workers-Compensation-Attorney-1.jpg\" alt=\"Las Vegas workers' compensation attorney\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Las-Vegas-Workers-Compensation-Attorney-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Las-Vegas-Workers-Compensation-Attorney-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Las-Vegas-Workers-Compensation-Attorney-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Las-Vegas-Workers-Compensation-Attorney-1-369x185.jpg 369w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"file\">How Do I File a Las Vegas Workers\u2019 Compensation Claim?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are specific procedures that you must follow in order to file a Las Vegas workers\u2019 compensation claim.

The insurance company will send a letter within this timeframe letting you know their decision and the reasoning behind their decision. The letter will also contain information about how to appeal the decision if you disagree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the insurance company denies the claim or only accepts a portion of it, you can turn to a skilled Las Vegas workers\u2019 compensation attorney who can help you file an appeal and recover the benefits you are entitled to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"injuries\">Common Workplace Injuries<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we examine information available from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/iif\/news.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (BLS), we can see that there were approximately 2.7 million non-fatal workplace injuries or illnesses reported during the latest year of data available.

Most workers\u2019 comp claims are handled with proper diligence by the employer and the insurance carrier. However, this may not always be the case for employees in more non-traditional workplace settings, including HVAC, plumbing, construction, and other types of manual labor positions. It is not uncommon for employers or insurance carriers to operate in bad faith and challenge a claim by saying they were not responsible for the injury or are not responsible for payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reality is that there are very few exceptions to when an employee is not able to receive workers\u2019 compensation benefits. If you are an <a href=\"https:\/\/labor.nv.gov\/uploadedFiles\/labornvgov\/content\/Employer\/Independent%20Contractor%20-%20Information%20Sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">independent contractor<\/a> or a freelancer, this could be a situation where you do not qualify for workers\u2019 compensation benefits, but that does not mean you cannot recover compensation at all. There are times when employers purposely misclassify workers in an effort to get out of paying certain benefits, including workers\u2019 competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any questions about whether or not you are eligible for workers\u2019 compensation benefits in Las Vegas, we encourage you to reach out to a skilled work injury attorney who can examine every aspect of your claim and help you proceed forward appropriately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevada law also allows an employee to reopen a workers\u2019 compensation claim at any point for the rest of his or her life. For example, a workplace injury may lead to an employee needing to train for a new job. They continue in this position for a few years and then realize the prior injury has caused a serious medical complication that prevents future work. They could reopen the prior workers\u2019 compensation claim to secure additional benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"benefits\">What Benefits Can I Receive Through Workers\u2019 Compensation?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individuals who sustain work injuries in Las Vegas will likely be entitled to a range of compensation types.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Medical treatment<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Injured workers in Nevada are entitled to coverage for all of the medical treatment related to their work injury.

Their death must have been mainly caused by the workplace incident in order for dependents to receive death benefits. The death benefits claim must be filed within one year from the date of the worker\u2019s death. These benefits can include up to $10,000 for funeral and burial expenses as well as up to two-thirds of the deceased individual\u2019s average monthly wage, payable to the dependents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spouse of a deceased worker can receive these benefits for the remainder of their life.

If the Appeals Officer denies the appeal, then individuals can appeal again to the District Court through a petition for Judicial Review. This must be done within 30 days of the Appeal Officer\u2019s decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of appealing a workers\u2019 compensation to dial in Nevada can be incredibly challenging and time-consuming. There are specific deadlines, and the claim must be filed appropriately in order for a potential reversal. We strongly encourage you to reach out to a skilled worker&#8217;s comp lawyer who has experience handling these claims. An attorney can take over every aspect of the claim, including investigating the accident, handling all communication with other parties, and filing appeals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"third-party\"><strong>Third-Party Claims vs. Workers&#8217; Comp Claims<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third-party claims for workers\u2019 compensation cases can be understandably confusing. After all, if a person receives coverage through workers\u2019 comp, why would they need to file a lawsuit against another party? The reality is that there are times when an injury on the job occurs due to the negligent actions of a third party. Depending on the situation, this third party could vary widely. This could include contractors or subcontractors working at a job site not related to the employer. This could also include parties such as companies or manufacturers of defective parts or materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of what other party possibly caused an injury, it may be possible to file a third-party lawsuit against these individuals or entities. There are various benefits to filing a third-party claim in these situations, even if you are already eligible for workers\u2019 compensation benefits for the same injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you file a third-party claim, this is essentially a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damfirm.com\/nevada\/las-vegas-personal-injury-lawyer.html\">personal injury lawsuit<\/a> in the civil court system. If this type of lawsuit is successful, individuals will likely be able to recover compensation above and beyond what they typically would receive through workers\u2019 compensation. Not only does this include coverage of medical expenses arising due to the injury, but also complete compensation of lost wages, property damage expenses, and pain and suffering damages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filing a successful third-party lawsuit is challenging. In these situations, plaintiffs will have to prove that the other party was negligent in some way. This is not the case with workers\u2019 compensation claims. Determining negligence creates more challenges in order to actually receive compensation, and we strongly encourage any person in these situations to reach out to a skilled Las Vegas work injury attorney as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"employer-coverage\">When Do Employers Begin Covering Workers\u2019 Comp For Their Employees?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses begin providing workers\u2019 compensation coverage for their employees from the moment they begin job-related duties. This includes any mandatory orientations, training, or onboarding activities. Workers\u2019 compensation laws require employers to provide this type of coverage to every employee, and there are very few exceptions when an employer does not have to provide workers\u2019 comp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"prove\">What Must You Prove To Obtain Workers\u2019 Comp Coverage in Las Vegas?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the state of Nevada, workers\u2019 compensation insurance is considered a \u201cno-fault\u201d type of insurance. This means that individuals can recover compensation through the workers\u2019 comp system regardless of who caused the injury. It does not matter whether or not the employee caused the injury themselves; they should still be able to recover compensation for their losses. There are a few exceptions to this, but these exceptions are few and far between.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the Nevada workers\u2019 compensation system is not fault-based, injured workers do not have to prove negligence on the part of another party in order to secure compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. All the injured worker has to show is that the injury occurred while they were performing a job-related task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Schedule a Free Consultation With a Las Vegas Workers&#8217; Compensation Lawyer<\/h2>\n<p>A Las Vegas workers\u2019 compensation attorney can help navigate the workers\u2019 comp claims process, gather evidence that supports an injured employee\u2019s claim, and help a client explore additional options for recovery.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one suffered an on-the-job injury in Las Vegas, contact the work injury lawyers of DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo today to schedule a <a href=\"\/nevada\/contact.html\">free consultation with an attorney<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Areas We Serve<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Our law office is conveniently located downtown at <strong>324 S 3rd Street, Floor 2, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex;
