Legal Question in Workers Comp in Nevada

workers comp - internationl

i have a long term contract with a

Nevada based company.

My employer sent me to work in Asia

I had a work accident in Asia and I

am back in U.S. for treatment. I

cannot work.

Would I be entitled to U.S. workers

comp although my accident

happened in China? or does the

accident need to happen within the

U.S.?

if not, would i be entitled to sue my

employer for compensation?

Re: workers comp - internationl

Thank you for your inquiry.

If you work for a Nevada company that sends you to work overseas and you sustain an injury, you will still be entitled to workers' compensation benefits within the State of Nevada.

Feel free to contact my office to further discuss your case and assist you in filing a claim.
