Firefighters encounter hazardous conditions every day, from battling fires to responding to emergencies. Due to the high-risk nature of the job, Nevada offers specific legal protections for injured firefighters, enabling them to seek workers’ compensation and, when warranted, file personal injury lawsuits. While workers’ compensation is typically the first option for injured firefighters, lawsuits may be necessary when third-party negligence or faulty equipment contributes to an injury.

When to Consider a Firefighter Injury Lawsuit

While Nevada’s workers’ compensation law provides essential support, certain circumstances justify pursuing a personal injury lawsuit. Firefighters may be eligible to file a lawsuit if their injury results from third-party negligence, defective equipment, or unsafe property conditions. Common scenarios include:

Defective firefighting equipment: Injuries from malfunctioning hoses, breathing apparatus, or fire-resistant clothing may involve claims against the equipment manufacturers.

Negligent property owners: If unsafe conditions at a property directly contributed to an injury, the property owner might be held liable.

Faulty protective gear: Manufacturers and distributors may be responsible if protective equipment fails to meet safety standards.

Steps in Filing a Firefighter Injury Lawsuit

Filing a lawsuit involves thorough documentation of the incident, medical evaluations, and clear evidence of negligence. Retaining an experienced attorney who understands the complexities of Nevada’s laws for first responders can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
