Can I sue if I'm hurt on a construction site in Nevada?
Yes, even if workers' comp covers your claim. Workers' comp is your exclusive remedy against your direct employer, but you can sue third parties: general contractors, subcontractors (other than your direct employer), property owners, architects, engineers, and equipment manufacturers.
What OSHA violations are common in Nevada construction accidents?
Common violations: failure to provide fall protection (29 CFR 1926.502), inadequate scaffolding (29 CFR 1926.451), electrical hazard violations, lack of proper PPE, and failure to train workers. OSHA citations and penalty records are admissible evidence in injury lawsuits.
How much is a Nevada construction accident case worth?
Severe construction accidents often result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and death. Damages include all medical costs, lost wages, permanent disability, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages. Third-party claims can recover significantly more than workers' comp alone.
What should I do after a construction site injury in Nevada?
Report the injury to your employer immediately. Seek medical attention. Document the scene and your injuries. File your C-4 workers' comp form. Then consult a personal injury attorney about potential third-party claims β workers' comp covers basics, but a civil suit can recover full damages.
