Reno Workers Compensation Laws
Reno, Nevada, is a city of more than a quarter million residents. The city is also a popular tourist destination, welcoming more than five million visitors each year! With the growth of this city on the upswing, there are many new businesses, construction projects, and residential properties popping up all the time. With all this increased business comes the increased potential for on-the-job injuries. Under state laws, employers for more than 90 percent of the Reno area's employees must carry active workers compensation insurance. This safeguards workers in case of injury or death while at work. Farm workers, actors, musicians, and real estate brokers are the only professionals that are not covered under this law, but sometimes even these employers have workers compensation insurance voluntarily. Reno Workers Compensation Laws and How They Effect Your Case
Nevada laws for workers compensation are classified under a "no fault" system. This means that no matter who is responsible, employees who get hurt on the job are required to be immediately eligible for workers compensation benefits. Because of this "no fault" system, there have been large increases in the number of workers compensation claims in Reno and throughout the state. This increase has led to a stiffening of policy by Reno insurance companies. In an effort to save money, they will search for all kinds of loopholes and caveats to avoid paying you what you are owed. Let our attorneys at Armstrong & Kidwell step in and fight for you. We know these laws inside and out and will ensure you are fairly compensated for your injury. Armstrong & Kidwell
