In Nevada, an injured employee has the right to reopen a claim which has been closed if certain conditions are met. This is commonly referred to as the "Nevada Injured Employees Right To Reopen A Claim Which Has Been Closed". There are two types of reopening claims: one for medical benefits and one for lost wages. In order to qualify for a medical benefits reopening claim, the employee must demonstrate that the medical condition related to the prior injury has worsened, or that there is a new injury or condition related to the prior injury that has arisen since the claim was closed. Additionally, the employee must prove that the worsening condition or new injury is related to the prior injury for which the claim was originally opened. To qualify for a lost wages reopening claim, the employee must demonstrate that the disability has become more severe, or that the employee has returned to work and is unable to make more than 80% of his/her wage at the time of the original injury. Additionally, the employee must prove that the worsening condition or return to work is related to the prior injury for which the claim was originally opened. Once the employee has demonstrated that the conditions for reopening the claim have been met, the claim must be filed within one year of the date the conditions were met. If successful, the employee is entitled to receive medical benefits or lost wages for the period of time since the claim was closed.
