What Nevada Workers Comp Pays Las Vegas Workers
Nevada pays two thirds of your average monthly wage while you cannot work. The wage counted tops out at $8,537.68 a month, starting July 1, 2026, under the state maximum wage chart.
Earnings above that line do not raise your check. Insurers can get your average wage wrong, and a low figure shrinks every payment.
The table below lays out the Nevada numbers that set your check. For a closer look, read what workers comp should pay you.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Check amount | 66 2/3% of your average monthly wage |
| Highest monthly wage counted, from July 1, 2026 | $8,537.68 |
Your Nevada Deadlines Start the Day You Get Hurt
Tell your employer in writing within 7 days after the accident. That is a short window, and missing it can sink your claim.
Nevada law then gives you 90 days to file your claim with the insurer. Use the date counter to turn both deadlines into real dates.
After that, call us so an attorney can make sure nothing is late. If the insurer already said no, read about a denied workers comp claim.
| Deadline | Nevada |
|---|---|
| Tell your employer in writing | within 7 days |
| File your claim with the insurer | within 90 days |
