Workers' Comp Information

An injured employee should contact an attorney as soon as possible, because that injured employee needs to make sure that all of his rights are protected. The workers' compensation system in Nevada is designed to allow a person to go through the entire system without an attorney. What I tell clients as I speak with them at the beginning stages is you're dealing with an insurance company and an insurance adjuster who knows every single rule and every in and out of those rules in the workers' compensation program. So you need somebody on your side who also knows all the rules, all the ins and outs, and want somebody who can protect you from the insurance company, cutting corners, depriving you of some benefits that you're entitled to. So you need it from the very beginning all the way to the very end, because the insurance company who's there controlling your case has their well-qualified adjusters as well as their own defense attorneys who will do anything possible to pay as little as they can on the claim.
