Workers in Nevada can be confident that if they get hurt on the job, they can recover workers’ compensation benefits. The benefits can be used to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and temporary or permanent disability. Sadly, not all injured employees have their claims approved, and they are forced to fight for benefits they deserve. If you are one of the unfortunate employees who is denied workers’ comp benefits, there steps you can take to get your rightful benefits.
Your claim can be denied for a number or reasons including:
Missed a filing deadline- If your employer fails to file your claim within 90 days of the date your injury occurred, their insurer may refuse to pay your claim. Fortunately, this hurdle is easy to overcome if you can prove your employer was negligent.
Your company didn’t purchase or maintain workers’ compensation insurance- The Nevada Department of Business and Industry requires all businesses in Nevada to get workers’ compensation insurance if they have one or more employees. Employers who don’t carry workers’ comp insurance can be sued in civil court.
You failed to get immediate medical attention- Sometimes the adrenalin rush of being injured in an accident masks the severity of an injury and a worker doesn’t think they need to see a doctor or go to the hospital. That is a bad idea because their injuries could get worse and workers’ comp may refuse to pay their claim.
