Workplace Injuries & Your Right to Compensation
A workplace injury can disrupt your life, career, and financial stability. At Shook & Stone, we know how devastating these accidents can be and are here to help you secure the benefits you deserve.
Work-related injuries range from minor cuts to catastrophic, life-altering conditions. Common workplace hazards include:
Your Employer’s Responsibilities
Nevada law requires employers to provide a safe work environment, job retraining, and modified work opportunities for injured employees. If you are unable to return to your previous job, your employer must make at least two attempts to offer modified work or retraining. If they fail to do so, they may be required to compensate you for lost wages.
In cases of total disability, medical documentation is crucial in proving your right to lifelong benefits. If your employer or their insurance company denies you the support you need, our experienced Las Vegas workers’ compensation lawyers can fight for you.
