How we match your Las Vegas workers' compensation case

When you submit a Las Vegas workers' compensation matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

  1. Case type

    A workers' compensation matter needs someone who handles workers' compensation work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

  2. Size and complexity

    Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

  3. Jurisdiction and licensing

    Your matter is decided under Nevada law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Nevada who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

  4. Capacity and fit

    Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Most Nevada workers' compensation attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Nevada workers' comp attorney fees are subject to Hearings Officer or Appeals Officer approval, typically running 20%–25% of contested benefits. Third-party tort claims (motor vehicle, product liability, contractor) run outside the comp system on standard 33%–40% personal-injury contingency.

Exhibit F

Las Vegas workers' compensation questions, answered

Still unsure? Tell us what happened and a Nevada attorney will review it for free.

Tell your employer in writing as soon as possible and ask for medical care. Nevada requires prompt notice, and delay gives insurers a reason to deny. Keep copies of everything. An attorney can confirm the notice and filing deadlines that apply to your injury.
Nevada generally requires you to treat with a provider from the insurer’s approved list, though you may have options to change. Picking carefully matters because that doctor shapes your treatment and impairment rating. An attorney can explain your choices if you are unhappy with the care.
No. These claims are decided through Nevada’s workers’ compensation system by hearing officers and appeals officers, not juries in Clark County courts. Hearings focus on medical evidence and benefits owed. A local attorney can represent you at each level.
Notice to the employer within 7 days under NRS § 616C.015, with a written claim (C-4) filed within 90 days through the treating physician under NRS § 616C.020. Late filing without good cause can bar the claim — Nevada is one of the strictest states on notice timing.
The insurer designates the treating physician from a managed-care or approved-provider list under NRS § 616C.090. Workers can request a change with insurer/Division approval.
