Craig Anderson — Workers Compensation Attorney, Las Vegas NV

Craig Anderson is a Nevada attorney with 20 years of experience practicing in Las Vegas, Nevada, admitted to the Nevada Bar in 2006. Craig is based at Anderson Injury Attorneys, serving clients throughout Clark County — including Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, and the surrounding metro.

Craig's primary focus is Workers Compensation. Craig also handles Personal Injury, Car Accidents and Workplace Injury cases. Clients searching for a workers compensation attorney in Las Vegas benefit from working with someone who understands the specific procedural rules of Clark County courts, the judges and prosecutors in the local system, and the Nevada statutes that govern their case. Key statute: NRS 616C.

Why Hire Craig Anderson for Workers Compensation in Las Vegas?

• Nevada workers' comp system: Craig at Anderson Injury Attorneys knows Nevada's workers' compensation system under NRS Chapter 616, including the 90-day reporting deadline and the appeals process before the Appeals Officer.
• Claim denial appeals: Nevada insurers deny many legitimate claims. Craig handles appeals of denied claims, ensuring injured workers get the medical treatment and wage replacement they're entitled to.
• Permanent partial disability (PPD) ratings: Nevada uses AMA Guides to rate permanent disabilities. Craig can challenge lowball PPD ratings and seek an independent medical exam when the insurer's rating is unfair.
• Third-party claims: If a third party (not your employer) caused your workplace injury, you may have a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers' comp. Craig Anderson handles both simultaneously.

Workers Compensation Law in Las Vegas — What You Need to Know

Nevada's legal system has its own procedures, deadlines, and standards that differ from other states. For workers compensation cases in Clark County, the court of record is typically the Clark County District Court for felonies and civil matters over $15,000, or the Las Vegas Justice Court for misdemeanors and small claims. Choosing a Las Vegas workers compensation attorney who regularly appears in these specific courts — and who knows the local culture and preferences — can make a meaningful difference in your outcome.

Nevada law imposes strict deadlines on most legal matters. Personal injury claims must generally be filed within two years under NRS 11.190; DUI-related license suspensions trigger an immediate seven-day clock to request a DMV hearing; divorce filings require six weeks of Nevada residency under NRS 125.020. Missing these windows can permanently bar your legal remedies. Craig's 20 years of Nevada practice means clients get timely guidance on all applicable deadlines from the first consultation.

What to Expect Working with Craig Anderson

Most Nevada attorneys in workers compensation offer a free initial consultation. During that first meeting, you should expect Craig to review the specific facts of your case, explain the likely legal process, outline fee arrangements (whether contingency, hourly, or flat fee), and give you a realistic assessment of your options. See our guide on Questions to Ask a Workers' Comp Attorney for the exact questions you should ask any attorney before you hire them.

Fee structures in Nevada vary by practice area. For personal injury and wrongful death cases, contingency fees typically range from 33% to 40% of the recovery. Criminal defense and DUI representation is usually flat-fee or hourly. For detailed cost information specific to workers compensation cases, see our Workers' Comp Attorney Costs.
