How Long Do You Have to Report a Workplace Injury in Nevada?

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.
