The process of using workers\u2019 compensation benefits can be tricky. Let us navigate it for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Llamar&nbsp;<a href=\"tel:702-800-0000\">702.800.0000<\/a>&nbsp;for a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cartercullen.com\/es\/contactenos\/\">consulta gratuita<\/a>.

In other words, practically all workers who are described as an employee should have workers\u2019 comp in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, independent contractors in Nevada are not owed workers\u2019 compensation coverage in most situations. If you accept work through individual contracts, then you might be an independent contractor, not an employee. Our firm can review your employment situation to see if you have been classified correctly, though. It is not unheard of for a dishonest employee to misclassify employees as independent contractors to avoid workers\u2019 compensation monthly premiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workers\u2019 Comp Covers Accidents of All Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workers\u2019 compensation is a no-fault insurance policy, which means that an injured worker doesn\u2019t have to prove liability to get coverage and benefits. As long as the claimant was hurt while working or while performing a work-related duty, they should be eligible for policy benefits. Even an employee who accidentally hurts themselves is eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Common accidents and injuries cited in workers\u2019 comp claims are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cartercullen.com\/es\/boulder-city\/resbalon-y-caida\/\">Accidentes por resbalones y ca\u00eddas<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accidentes de la construcci\u00f3n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lesiones de espalda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repetitive strain injuries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Occupational illnesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Head injuries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your case could encounter trouble if your employer or their insurer tries to argue that your injury wasn\u2019t caused by accident. Intentionally trying to cause an accident or willingly engaging in an out-of-protocol activity that you understand to be dangerous can void your right to workers\u2019 compensation. If this happens, then our attorneys will be ready to counteract with arguments and evidence of our own. Denied or contested claims such as these often end in lump-sum settlement agreements that let you pay for all the benefits you would have gotten from workers\u2019 comp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Tell Your Boss After an Accident?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should tell your employer as soon as possible about any accident or injury that you suffer in the course of your employment. If you wait too long to tell them about it, then they can more easily challenge your claim and argue that your injury was suffered elsewhere. In Nevada, you must tell your employer about your accident within 7 days, or they can deny your claim outright. Don\u2019t hesitate to inform them. Be sure to create an official accident report and get a copy, too, so they can\u2019t argue later that you never told them about your injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heal &amp; Rest While We Fight for You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just when you need our Boulder City workers\u2019 compensation attorneys, we will be there to stand by your side and elevate your case.
