Construction Injury cases in Reno
Construction crews build Reno through Interstate 80 freight traffic and fast-growing logistics and tech employment — new homes, resorts, warehouses, and roadwork across Washoe County. Falls from height, trench and structural collapses, electrocutions, and heavy-equipment incidents make construction one of the most dangerous trades in Nevada.
Workers' comp generally covers your medical care and part of your wages regardless of fault — and when a different subcontractor, a driver, or defective equipment caused the injury, a third-party claim may apply on top. A participating Nevada law firm may review your Reno injury.
Common Reno construction injury situations
- Falls from scaffolds, ladders, and roofs
- Trench collapses and structural failures
- Electrocutions and burns on site
- Heavy-equipment and crane incidents

Reno Construction Injury FAQ
Common questions
Is this a law firm?

How long do I have to report a work injury in Nevada?

The GC wasn't my employer — does that matter?
It can matter a lot. Workers' comp usually bars suing your own employer, but other companies on a multi-employer site — like a general contractor or another sub — can face a third-party claim. A participating law firm can sort out who's who.
How much is a construction injury claim worth in Reno?
It depends on your injury, medical treatment, earnings, and any permanent impairment rating. A participating Nevada law firm can review your Reno claim and explain what benefits or settlement may apply. No outcome is guaranteed.
Will my Reno workers' comp claim end in a settlement?
Some Nevada claims resolve with a settlement — for example a lump-sum permanent partial disability (PPD) award — while others pay benefits over time. The right path depends on your rating and future medical needs. A participating law firm can explain the trade-offs before you sign anything.
