Overview of Legal Protections for EMS Workers
EMS workers are essential to Nevada’s healthcare system, providing life-saving assistance in high-stakes situations. Given the physical and psychological demands of their work, EMS workers face unique risks and deserve dedicated legal protections. In Nevada, EMS workers who sustain injuries on the job are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, and in some cases, additional compensation through personal injury claims may also be available.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits for EMS Workers
Nevada’s workers’ compensation system provides financial support to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and disability benefits for EMS workers. Compensation benefits can vary based on the injury’s severity and the impact it has on the worker’s ability to perform their duties. Benefits often cover:
Medical expenses: Includes hospital visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future care related to the injury.
Disability benefits: For temporary or permanent disability affecting work performance.
Lost wages: Compensation for time away from work due to injuries sustained on the job.
When to Consider Filing a Personal Injury Claim
In situations where third-party negligence contributed to an EMS worker’s injury, additional compensation may be available through a personal injury claim. Such claims apply in cases of faulty equipment, unsafe work environments, or negligence by other parties, allowing EMS workers to receive damages beyond workers’ compensation, including pain and suffering.
