Frequently Asked Questions

What does a workers compensation attorney in Reno actually do for me?
An attorney like R Trent McAuliffe can help you file your claim correctly, respond to disputes from the insurer, request hearings if your benefits are denied or cut off, and negotiate a settlement that reflects the seriousness of your injury. Nevada's workers compensation system has specific deadlines and procedures, and having legal help reduces the risk of missing a step that could hurt your case.
My employer's insurer denied my claim. Can I still get benefits?
Yes, a denial is not the end of the road in Nevada. You have the right to appeal through the Nevada Division of Industrial Relations, and an attorney can represent you at hearings before an appeals officer. The key is acting quickly, because there are deadlines for filing appeals after a denial.
How long do I have to file a workers compensation claim in Nevada?
In Nevada, you generally have 90 days from the date of the injury to report it to your employer, and your employer then has a set period to report it to their insurer. For occupational diseases, different timelines may apply. If you are unsure whether you have missed a deadline, speaking with an attorney as soon as possible is important.
What if I was injured at a job site in Reno but my employer is based out of state?
Nevada workers compensation laws typically apply if the injury occurred in Nevada. The specifics can depend on where your employment contract was formed and other factors, so it is worth discussing your situation directly with the office to understand which state's laws govern your claim.
