01. Workers' Compensation
Advocating for Your Rights in Workplace Injury Claims

We understand the challenges injured workers face when navigating the complexities of workers’ compensation law. We are committed to providing personalized, high-quality representation to ensure you receive the benefits you deserve. At Becker & Vail LLC, we specialize in this nuanced area of law, offering the quality representation you need to navigate the complex workers' compensation system.
What Is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation provides benefits to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses arising out of and during the course of employment. It covers medical expenses, lost wages, and other benefits. However, strict timelines and procedural requirements must be followed to ensure your claim is successful.
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.

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately.
Your health comes first. Always prioritize medical care after a workplace injury. If it's an emergency, obtain medical care as soon as possible.
2. Consult an Experienced Workers’ Compensation Attorney Before Completing Form C-4, If possible.
Filing Form C-4, the claim for compensation, is critical. Errors in this form can lead to denials that can be difficult to overturn. We ensure all necessary elements are established to satisfy Nevada's requirements for a "compensable" injury or occupational disease. We guide you through this process to ensure all Nevada law requirements are met.
3. Know the Timelines.
Workers’ compensation claims have strict deadlines for notifying employers and filing the necessary paperwork. Missing these deadlines can jeopardize your claim.
4. Document All Workplace Injuries and Occupational Diseases.
Maintaining thorough records of your injury or illness is crucial for building a strong case.
