Compensation for Paramedics Injured on the Job
Paramedics serve as essential first responders, often facing significant risks in high-stress situations. From handling life-threatening emergencies to lifting heavy patients, paramedics are vulnerable to various on-the-job injuries. For injured paramedics in Las Vegas, Nevada law provides workers’ compensation as well as avenues for additional compensation, particularly when a third party may be responsible for the injury.
Types of Compensation Available for Paramedics
Paramedics injured on duty are typically eligible for workers’ compensation, which provides financial support to cover medical bills, lost wages, and disability costs. Compensation may also include long-term disability payments if the injury impacts the paramedic’s ability to continue working. In cases where a third party, such as a manufacturer of faulty equipment or a negligent driver, has contributed to the injury, paramedics may also have grounds to file a personal injury claim. These claims can provide additional compensation, especially for pain and suffering.
When to Pursue a Personal Injury Claim
For paramedics dealing with third-party involvement in their injury, a personal injury claim can cover broader costs, including physical suffering and emotional distress. Personal injury claims are designed to provide additional support beyond what workers’ compensation can offer, especially if long-term care or permanent disability becomes an issue.
