How Workers Comp Works in Nevada

The weekly check. Nevada pays 66⅔% of your average weekly wage while you are totally disabled — but never more than $1,400 per week in 2026. At $1,200/week that works out to $800/week — below the cap, so every dollar of wage increase raises the check until $1,400 is reached.

The deadline that actually matters. Nevada gives you 1 year from the injury (or from when a reasonable worker should have discovered it) to file a claim with the state board. One-year states are unforgiving — an unreported or delayed injury can bar the whole claim. 1-year SOL; 66⅔% up to state max.

Who can be sued. In Nevada, workers compensation is generally your exclusive remedy against your employer; no fault-based lawsuit can be brought for a covered injury. Claims against non-employers may still exist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does workers comp pay per week in Nevada?

Nevada pays 66⅔% of your average weekly wage while you are totally disabled, up to a maximum of $1,400 per week in 2026. Once your wage passes $2,100/week, the cap binds and a higher wage no longer raises the benefit.

How long do I have to file a workers comp claim in Nevada?

In Nevada, you generally have 1 year from the date of injury (or from when the injury should have been discovered) to file with the state board. One year is short in practice — claim numbers and medical records should be opened as soon as the injury is reported to your employer.

Does Nevada cap workers comp benefits?

Yes. Your weekly TTD benefit in Nevada is the lesser of 66⅔% of your wage and $1,400 per week. Permanent-partial awards are scheduled separately and also run off your wage and impairment rating — the calculator applies both rules.

Can I sue my employer or someone else after a work injury in Nevada?

Generally no — in Nevada workers compensation is your exclusive remedy against your employer, so no fault lawsuit can be brought for a covered injury. Claims against non-employers (equipment manufacturers, property owners) may still exist.
