If you suffer an occupational injury in Las Vegas, the first step to pursue workers’ compensation benefits is reporting your injury as soon as possible to your employer. Fill out an incident report, called a C-1 Form, while the details of your accident are still fresh in your mind. List the names of anyone who witnessed what happened. Take photographs while at the scene of your workplace accident, if possible. Under Nevada law, you have seven days after your work injury to complete the C-1 form. But you should notify your employer as soon as the injury occurs. Next, go to a hospital or other medical provider as directed by your employer. If they do not send you anywhere you should still see a medical provider on your own. If your injuries constitute a medical emergency, you may go to any emergency room in Las Vegas for immediate treatment. Otherwise, you may have to go to a doctor or health care center on your employer’s approved list, provided by their insurance company. Ask your employer if there is a specific physician you must see in a non-emergency. You will also need to complete a C-4 Form, called an Employee Claim for Compensation. Bring this form to your doctor to fill out his or her portion. Your doctor will then submit the finished form to your employer’s insurance company after your medical examination. The insurance company has 30 days to investigate and accept or deny your claim.
