Legal Question in Workers Comp in Nevada

Re: fired after injured on job

Nevada is considered an "at will" employment state. An employer can fire an individual for almost any reason as long as it is not a recognized discriminatory element (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.).

If an employer fires your brother they would still be responsible for providing workmen's compensation benefits during the life of his injury.

If your brother would like to speak to me regarding his work comp claim, have him give me a call at my office.

I always offer free initial consultations regarding case inquiries.

Best,
