You Have Rights. We Protect Them.
One of the most common and dangerous myths in Nevada is that undocumented immigrants cannot file for workers’ compensation if they are hurt on the job. This is false.
In Nevada, if you are injured while performing your job, you have the right to seek workers’ compensation benefits, regardless of your immigration status. You are entitled to medical treatment for your injuries.
Do Not Let Employers Intimidate You
Unscrupulous employers and insurance companies often try to use a worker’s undocumented status as a weapon. They may threaten deportation or termination if you report an injury or try to file a claim. They do this because they want to avoid paying for your medical bills and protect their insurance premiums.
At Askeroth Law Group, we find this tactic unacceptable. We believe that if you shed your sweat and blood to build this state’s economy, you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect when you are injured.
