Why Your Employer’s OSHA History Matters
In Nevada, workplace safety is enforced by Nevada OSHA, which operates as a state plan under the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. While most work injuries are covered by Workers’ Compensation, a clear pattern of employer negligence—especially one documented by OSHA—can be crucial evidence in certain legal claims.
What a Violation Means for Your Injury Claim
If you suffered an injury at work and found a corresponding violation on this tool, that OSHA citation can serve as powerful evidence of negligence.
-
Proving Negligence: A citation demonstrates that the employer knew, or should have known, about a specific danger and failed to correct it.
-
Third-Party Claims: If your injury was caused by the negligence of a third party (like a subcontractor or property owner), an OSHA violation can prove their lack of care, opening the door to a claim beyond the limited scope of Workers’ Compensation.
Understanding the Types of OSHA Violations
The severity of a violation is key to assessing your case. Here are the types of citations you may find in the search results:
| Violation Type | Severity & Penalty | Legal Significance |
| Serious | Up to $16,550 per violation (as of 2025). | The hazard was likely to cause death or serious physical harm, but the employer did not or could not know about it. |
| Willful | Up to $165,514 per violation. | The employer intentionally failed to comply or acted with plain indifference to employee safety. This is the most severe and legally damaging finding. |
| Repeated | Up to $165,514 per violation. | The employer was previously cited for the same or a substantially similar violation within the last five years. |
| Failure to Abate | Up to $16,550 per day beyond the abatement date. | The employer failed to correct a previously cited violation by the set deadline. |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I sue my employer in Nevada for a work injury? A: In most cases, Nevada Workers’ Compensation is the exclusive remedy against your direct employer. However, if your employer acted with extreme negligence or did not have Workers’ Comp coverage, or if a third party was involved, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. An OSHA violation can be key to proving these exceptions.
Q: Where does the data for this tool come from? A: This tool aggregates publicly available data from official Nevada OSHA records and federal inspection databases, ensuring the information is accurate and transparent.
Q: Does finding a violation guarantee a successful lawsuit? A: No, but it significantly strengthens your case. An OSHA citation is powerful evidence that a safety standard was violated, which helps Shook & Stone prove that your injury was caused by an unsafe working condition.
Q: Is my search confidential? A: Yes. Your search activity on the Nevada Workplace Safety Watch tool is confidential.
Don’t assume your injury is “just a Workers’ Comp case.” Find out the truth about your employer’s safety history and get the full compensation you deserve.
