What Workers’ Compensation Covers in Nevada

To qualify for benefits, you must show that your injury “arose out of and in the course of” your employment. This means proving that your work caused or contributed to the injury. Fortunately, you do not need to prove fault. Most workers qualify even if they made a mistake that led to the injury. However, injuries caused by intoxication, failure to follow medical advice, or intentional acts may be excluded from coverage.

If you qualify for benefits, workers’ compensation may cover:

• Medical treatment related to your work injury
• Temporary or permanent total disability benefits if you can’t work
• Permanent partial disability benefits for loss of earning capacity
• Lost wages while you recover
• Rehabilitation services to help you return to the workforce
• Vocational training if you need to change careers due to your injury
• Death benefits for surviving dependents in fatal accidents
