Employer‑Specific Hotlines
Businesses that self‑insure or use private carriers should reach their carrier's Nevada support line. The Nevada Department of Business and Industry maintains a directory at 1‑800‑777‑3666, which can redirect you to the appropriate carrier's regional office.
In‑Person Assistance and Regional Offices
If you prefer face‑to‑face help, Nevada's Workers' Compensation Division operates a regional office in Carson City. Call the office line at 775‑684‑2295 to schedule an appointment or obtain forms.
After‑Hours and Emergency Reporting
Severe injuries that require immediate medical attention should be reported to emergency services, but the employer must still file a claim within 30 days. For out‑of‑hours assistance on claim status, the SCF's online portal offers a secure messaging system; phone support resumes the next business day.
