702-643-4878 Your Rights Under Nevada’s Workers’ Compensation Law
Nevada law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. This system is designed to cover:
- Medical treatment for your injury
- Lost wages while you recover
- Permanent disability benefits
- Retraining if you’re forced to change careers
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. This means you don’t have to prove your employer caused the accident before you receive benefits.
You must, however, show the accident is work-related, report the injury quickly, and follow the claims process carefully to make sure all your injuries are covered. Our firm helps ensure you meet all deadlines and protect your benefits.
Holding Third Parties Accountable for Truck Driver Injuries
Sometimes, another person or company is responsible for a truck accident. These situations are called third-party claims.
In Nevada, pursuing a third-party lawsuit allows you to seek damages beyond workers’ compensation, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and full wage loss.
At Behzadi Law, we carefully investigate to see if a third-party case is possible. Examples of possible third-party defendants include:
- Other drivers who caused a crash
- Manufacturers of defective truck parts or equipment
- Cargo loading companies that failed to secure loads properly
- Maintenance contractors who performed faulty repairs
- Companies responsible for unsafe loading docks or yards
In these situations, our team can use accident reconstructionists, medical experts, and access black box/EDR (event data recorder) data to find out who else may be liable and build a strong case to hold them accountable.
Our Las Vegas attorney for injured truck drivers knows how to hold third parties accountable and fight for every dollar you deserve.
Important Workers’ Compensation Deadlines to Know in Nevada
After a truck driver injury, the clock starts ticking right away. If you miss certain deadlines, you could lose your right to benefits or damages.
Keep these time limits in mind:
- Workers’ compensation injury report: With few exceptions, you must notify your employer of your injury as soon as possible and no later than 7 days after the accident, and file a claim within 90 days of the accident (NRS § 616C.015; NRS § 616C.020).
- Personal injury lawsuits: Generally, you have two years from the date of injury to file a suit against a third-party at fault if applicable (NRS § 11.190).
Missing these deadlines could mean losing your right to benefits or damages.
Common Dangers That Put Las Vegas Truck Drivers at Risk
Truck drivers face dangers every day, both on the road and while handling cargo. Common causes include:
- Vehicle crashes: Collisions with other trucks, cars, or fixed objects
- Rollover accidents: Trucks tipping over due to sharp turns, speed, or uneven loads
- Tire blowouts: Sudden tire failure leading to loss of control
- Mechanical failures: Faulty brakes, defective parts, or poor vehicle maintenance
- Overexertion injuries: Lifting heavy loads
- Falls: Slip or trip and falls while entering or exiting the cab or trailer
- Loading and unloading accidents: Being struck by cargo, forklifts, or improperly secured items
- Unreasonable delivery deadlines: Truck driver fatigue (also called drowsy driving) is a common cause of trucking accidents, but truck drivers sometimes have little choice in the matter.
These hazards can lead to a wide range of injuries, some of which can take you off the road for weeks, months, or even permanently.
Assisting Truck Drivers With All Types of Injuries
Our Las Vegas attorney for injured truck drivers can help you seek benefits for a wide variety of truck driver injuries, including:
- Back and neck injuries: These can occur from lifting heavy loads or the impact of a crash.
- Shoulder injuries: Often caused by loading and unloading cargo or pulling the fifth wheel release.
- Knee and leg injuries: These injuries can be due to climbing in and out of the cab, slipping on uneven surfaces, or being involved in a collision.
- Head injuries: Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries can happen during auto accidents or from falling objects.
- Fractures and broken bones: These can occur in various scenarios, such as crashes, and slip or trip and falls.
- Repetitive strain injuries and overexertion: Continuous use of certain muscles and joints can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis.
