Workers' Compensation in Construction Accidents
In the state of Nevada, most employees are automatically covered by worker’s compensation insurance. This means that if you are injured on the job, you should be able to receive benefits to help cover your medical expenses and lost wages.
However, worker’s compensation does have its limitations. For example, if your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may not be eligible for worker’s compensation benefits. In these cases, you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit in order to get the full compensation you deserve.
No matter what your situation may be, our construction accident lawyers will help you understand all of your legal options and ensure that you get the maximum compensation possible.
