Workers’ compensation does not pay a full salary in Nevada. Depending on your physical restrictions after sustaining an injury at work, you could qualify for up to two-thirds (66.66 percent) of your former weekly wages. Even though this is not a full salary, workers’ compensation benefits were designed to help injured workers survive financially while they recover from injuries incurred due to their work duties.
Being injured on the job is a difficult position to be in, and the pain, mental trauma, and lost wages can be overwhelming. Employees in Nevada could seek workers’ compensation benefits for an on-the-job injury and may be eligible to pursue multiple forms of compensation.
