01. Workers' Compensation
When a workplace injury turns your world upside down, you need more than legal help, you need a fierce advocate who understands what you're going through.
Every year workers suffer injuries on the job across Nevada. If you're one of them, you're facing medical bills, lost wages, and insurance companies that seem determined to deny or minimize your claim. At Becker & Vail LLC, we've spent over two decades fighting for injured workers throughout Las Vegas and Nevada, recovering millions in compensation for families just like yours.
You shouldn't have to become a legal expert to get the benefits you've earned. While you focus on healing, we'll handle the fight for your future.
What Nevada Workers' Compensation Covers for Your Injury
Nevada law provides comprehensive protection for workers injured on the job, but many people don't realize the full scope of benefits available. These benefits can include medical care, wage replacement, and compensation for permanent disabilities.
Medical Benefits
-
All necessary medical treatment related to your injury
-
Hospital stays, surgeries, and specialist consultations
-
Physical therapy and rehabilitation services
-
Prescription medications and medical equipment
-
Travel reimbursement for medical appointments
Wage Replacement Benefits
-
Temporary total disability payments while unable to work
-
Temporary partial disability for reduced earning capacity
-
Permanent partial disability for lasting impairments
-
Permanent total disability for severe, life-changing injuries
Additional Protections
-
Vocational rehabilitation if you cannot return to your previous job
-
Death benefits for families of workers killed on the job
-
Protection against employer retaliation for filing claims
Nevada law has strict requirements, which makes it critical to act quickly and properly file your claim. To obtain workers' compensation benefits, the injured party must establish that they have suffered an "injury by accident" or contracted an "occupational disease" that arose out of and in the course of employment. There are strict requirements governing:
-
Notification Timelines: When and how the employer must be notified.
-
Filing Deadlines: Specific timeframes within which the claim for compensation must be filed.
Even when these standards are met, insurance companies handling workers' compensation claims for employers often focus on closing out claims quickly to limit their losses. This can leave injured workers undercompensated and without the support they need.
Important: Even if your injury worsened a pre-existing condition, you may still qualify for full benefits. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Becker & Vail LLC ensures you receive every dollar you're entitled to under state law.
Your Recovery Is Our Priority, We Handle Everything Else
After a workplace injury, the challenges multiply quickly. Insurance adjusters pressure you to accept lowball settlements. Employers question whether your injury really happened at work. Complex paperwork with strict deadlines can determine your entire claim if completed incorrectly.

1. We Help You Avoid Costly Errors on Form C-4.
The Form C-4 (Claim for Compensation) is one of the most critical documents in the workers’ compensation process. Even small mistakes, such as missing medical details or unclear incident descriptions, can result in your claim being denied. Our attorneys make sure your C-4 submission is complete, accurate, and meets all the requirements for a “compensable” injury under Nevada law.
2. We Fight Back Against Delayed or Denied Claims.
Insurance companies are often more interested in saving money than paying out benefits. They may delay your case, dispute the extent of your injury, or try to downplay your need for compensation. We push back hard against these tactics, advocating for fair treatment, timely benefits, and full compensation for your medical care and lost wages.
3. We Understand the System, So You’re Never Left Guessing.
Nevada’s workers’ compensation laws are complex. From knowing how to choose an approved provider to understanding your eligibility for temporary disability benefits, the process is filled with rules that can trip up injured workers. At Becker & Vail LLC, we bring deep experience and legal insight to every claim, guiding you step-by-step and explaining your options clearly along the way.
