    A look at workers’ compensation insurance

    Workers’ compensation insurance, or workers’ comp, is a type of no-fault insurance required by the state of Nevada to protect injured workers and their employers. Nevada requires that all businesses carry worker’s comp insurance, even if it is a family-owned business with only relatives as employees. The only exception to this rule is if a business is a sole proprietor and the sole proprietor is the only person employed by the company.

    Workers’ comp coverage begins the moment that an employee starts work. There are no waiting periods for coverage, and all employees are covered regardless of their classification as part-time or full-time workers. Under Nevada law, illegal immigrants are also protected under workers’ compensation even if they receive their pay illegally. However, illegal immigrants are not entitled to vocational rehabilitation programs through the insurance program.

    It is essential you speak to a workers’ comp attorney as soon as possible after your injury occurs. All too often, workers’ comp adjustors are looking at their bottom line, not the injured party’s health. They have been known to deny treatments and force people back to work before they fully recover. Hiring an attorney will protect your rights and ensure you can recover damages.

      If you have been injured on the job, there are specific steps you must take to ensure you remain eligible for workers’ compensation insurance protection. These steps include:

      • Report the injury immediately. Any type of injury should be reported immediately and the proper paperwork should be filled out by you and the supervisor so that the claim process can begin.
      • Get medical care. Regardless of the type of injury, make sure you are examined by a medical professional. This ensures your condition and injury are documented and any proper medical is provided. Do not delay in treatment.
      • Document everything you remember about the event. In the future, this information will be very relevant to your case. Write down everything you remember from witnesses to the event, the cause of the accident, the time and weather if relevant, and any information about your injury when it occurred and prior to medical treatment.
      • Follow medical directions. It is very important for you to follow all medical care directions and make all medical appointments. Workers’ compensation adjustors will assume you are no longer in need of medical care or that you do not want to make a full recovery from your injury if you do not follow medical care instructions.
      • Light duty options. If your employer can provide you with light duty options for your job, you must make an effort to return to work. If you return and it is too physically demanding for your condition, speak with your attorney so they can immediately notify the workers’ comp adjustor. Failure to comply with light duty work if offered, however, can result in a termination of benefits. It is always in your best interest to at least try light duty.

      Nevada law regarding workers’ compensation states that workers’ compensation will pay 66-1/3 percent of your average monthly wage. These benefits are automatic when you are injured, and your injury will keep you out of work for an extended period of time. There are no state minimums for wage reimbursement.

      Report the injury to your employer immediately to get the most out of a workers’ compensation claim. Seek medical care, and understand that it may be appropriate to get a second opinion. If the employer doesn’t immediately pay what you deserve under the law, you can challenge their decision. It’s important to keep track of deadlines and always continue with your medical care to get the most out of a workers’ compensation claim.

      Workers’ comp pays for your medical treatment in full until you reach the maximum medical improvement. It can also pay for vocational rehabilitation. You can receive payment for lost wages and may also qualify for an additional amount to compensate you for permanent disability. There is typically a complex calculation to determine your lost wages benefits. Workers’ comp should also pay for treatment and damages in your employment accident case.

      You can sue workers’ comp when you have reported an injury and the employer has not paid you fairly. There are rules for what an employer has to pay when someone makes a workers’ comp claim. If the employer doesn’t comply with the law, you can sue them to compel them. Typically, you cannot bring a negligence lawsuit against your employer. Still, that case may be available against any other party contributing to the injury or illness.

      Workers’ comp law requires qualifying employers to pay certain benefits to victims who are hurt at work. There is no requirement for the employer to be at fault. Employers must purchase workers’ compensation insurance, and they have limited time to approve or deny a claim.

      Workers’ comp law for employees requires a worker to make a timely report of their injury or illness. If the report is late, the employee may be prohibited from receiving maximum benefits. Available benefits may include treatment costs and compensation for permanent and temporary disabilities. A disability may be completely disabling, or the victim may be able to continue to work in some capacity. Burial and death benefits may be available when a death occurs during the scope of employment.

      Adam S. Kutner reviews and testimonials

      “I needed an attorney because I couldn’t deal with the accident on my own, so I needed someone else’s opinion about my accident.

      Well I heard about Adam Kutner through an associate of mine and I chose to seek him because I heard of him before also, so I thought he would be the best option for me.

      I was very happy with my settlement and it came quicker than I thought, in just a couple months I received a check in the mail.

      When I recommend Adam Kutner I would tell them that the settlement comes very quickly, and he is very helpful with transportation and whatever else you may need.”
