Have you been hurt while working in Las Vegas? You may have the right to receive benefits from your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance policy. It’s important to handle the claims process carefully, so don’t hesitate to contact Heidari Law Group for help. Remember that we are 24/7 available for you.
ARE INJURED WORKERS ENTITLED TO BENEFITS?
In most cases, injured workers will be entitled to benefits. The Nevada state law is based in a no-fault system, you do not have to prove that your employer negligently caused your injury, as you would otherwise have to do in a personal injury lawsuit. Under workers compensation even if you were hurt due to your own negligence, you’ll likely still have a valid case.
There are exceptions, for example the system will not pay out if an employee was intoxicated or high on narcotics at the time of the accident. Additionally, a person will have to pay for their own medical treatment and other expenses if it’s decided that they intentionally harmed themselves or engaged in fraud.
WHAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS WORK-RELATED INJURIES?
As stated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in Standard 1904.5, an injury is defined as work-related if an event or exposure in the work environment caused or contributed to the injury, or significantly aggravated a pre-existing injury or illness. As a general rule, an injury or illness is presumed to be work-related when it occurs due to events in the workplace.
COMMON WORK-RELATED INJURIES
If you or a loved one have been injured while working, you can be compensated for any of these injuries and more, as long as the injury happened while you were at work or performing work-related tasks. This means the accident does not have to have occurred solely at work, as long as you show that you were doing something related to your job when you were injured, workers’ compensation insurance should provide your compensation. There are several types of work-related injuries, but among the most common are the following:
- Broken bones
- Dislocations
- Muscle injuries
- Cuts and scrapes
- Burns
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Slip and fall injuries
- Limb crush injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Injuries to the eyes and ears
- Mesothelioma
- Poisoning
- Repetitive motion injuries (eg, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, etc.)
- Permanent disability
- Wrongful death
HOW MUCH IS A COMMON WORKERS’ COMPENSATION SETTLEMENT?
There´s not a specific amount of a workers compensation settlement, it varies depending on the case. You should know that the amount of a workers’ compensation settlement will depend on:
- The nature and extent of your injury
- Your prior wages (to calculate the difference in income between when you were healthy and then)
- The number of bills that need to be paid by the claim
- The cost of medical care for your condition
- How much pain you are in and how much your quality of life has been affected
- The length of time it will take you to recover from your injuries or illness and return to work
- The extent of permanency of your injury or illness
- Whether there are other related injuries for which compensation is needed.
WHAT DAMAGES CAN BE PAID AS COMPENSATION IN A CLAIM?
If you suffered work-related injuries, you have the right to seek compensation through a claim, including the following:
- Past, current and future medical care and treatment
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Lost work time
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Total permanent disability
- Partial permanent disability
- Payments to dependents in case of wrongful death
- Loss of consortium
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIM AFTER A WORK-RELATED INJURY IN LAS VEGAS?
There´s a specific process that must be followed if a person wants to recover workers’ compensation benefits after getting injured while working in Las Vegas.
Here’s what you need to know:
- You’ll have seven days to notify your employer of your work accident and resulting injury. Your employer will have you complete a form called the Notice of Injury or Occupational Disease (C-1 Form).
- You’ll have 90 days to seek medical treatment and initiate the workers’ compensation process. Your doctor will complete a form, known as C-4, which will be submitted to your employer.
- Your employer must submit Form C-3 within six days of receiving a copy of Form C-4. This form memorializes your wage history and gets the ball rolling on your claim for benefits.
- While you ultimately have about 90 days to take action, it’s important to get started on the claims process right away. The longer you wait to seek medical treatment after your accident, the harder it can be to prove that your trauma is work-related. That opens the door for the insurance company to contest your claim or limit the benefits that are extended to you.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER SUFFERING A WORK-RELATED INJURY?
If you have been injured in a work-related accident, our skilled attorneys recommend that you take the following steps, as this will help ensure that you are entitled to the benefits of your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.
These steps include:
- Report your injury immediately: Any injury you receive at your workplace must be reported as soon as possible to your employee or immediate boss.
- Seek medical attention as soon as possible: whenever you suffer an injury, be it mild or severe, you should go to a health professional to be examined.
- Document everything: It is recommended that you record the events that occurred during the accident in which you were injured. This includes obtaining the contacts of any eyewitnesses to the incident, the time of day it occurred, and the cause of the accident.
- Follow medical instructions to the letter: It is important that you strictly follow all instructions your doctor gives you regarding your injury.
- Follow all procedures for filing a claim: You must meet all deadlines and complete all necessary paperwork to be eligible for workers’ compensation.
- Call a work related injury attorney.

Persistent
“I was injured in a car accident. The lawyer made sure that I went to my chiropractor sessions and that I get the medical attention needed. I also got MRI’s as needed and also got back injections as needed. He was very persistent on contacting me, even when I wasn’t reachable, and making sure that I got treated right and paid a good amount at the end. He is a very respectful person and great lawyer.”
