Workplace Injury Lawyers in Las Vegas, Nevada

Workplace injuries can range from minor incidents to life-changing accidents. While workers' compensation provides some benefits, it often doesn't fully cover your losses. If a third party (equipment manufacturer, subcontractor, property owner) contributed to your injury, or if your employer doesn't carry workers' comp insurance, you may have additional legal options beyond the standard workers' comp claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?

This turns on your state. Texas is unusual in letting employers opt out of workers' compensation. If your employer is a "non-subscriber," you can sue them directly. If they carry workers' comp, your options may be limited to filing a workers' comp claim, but you may have claims against third parties.

What if my employer doesn't have workers' compensation?

Most states require employers to carry workers' compensation; a few, including Texas, do not. If your employer is a non-subscriber and you're injured, you can file a personal injury lawsuit directly against them, and they lose many of the legal defenses normally available.
