Nevada generally gives you seven days to report a workplace injury to your employer. This is a strict deadline, and missing it can hurt your ability to receive medical treatment coverage, wage replacement, and other benefits under workers’ compensation. To protect your rights and flexibility, report an injury even if you believe it is minor, will heal quickly, or will not need ongoing treatment.
In Nevada, it is illegal to fire employees for filing workers’ compensation claims. This does not mean retaliation never happens, especially in high-pressure industries such as casinos, hotels, and restaurants where workplace injuries are common. Employers sometimes try to disguise retaliation as layoffs, performance problems, or policy violations.
