Timing is critical when it comes to filing a workers’ compensation claim in Nevada. Missing a deadline can put your benefits at risk.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Notify Your Employer Quickly: You must report your injury to your employer within 7 days of the incident or from the date you first noticed a work-related condition. Use a C-1 form (Notice of Injury or Occupational Disease).
- Seek Medical Attention Promptly: You must have a doctor complete a C-4 form (Employee’s Claim for Compensation/Report of Initial Treatment) within 90 days of your injury. This officially starts your claim.
- Appeal Deadlines: If your claim is denied, you typically have 70 days from the date of the denial letter to appeal the decision.
