They simply do not correctly understand Nevada law. It&#8217;s foolish not to get answers from an experienced &nbsp;workers&#8217; compensation attorney when those answers are free and when your health and economic security are at stake. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unfair decisions by the adjuster<\/strong>&nbsp;.Again, most injured workers don&#8217;t know &nbsp;much about Nevada workers&#8217; compensation law. &nbsp;Some know when something doesn&#8217;t seem right or fair on their claim, but it isn&#8217;t always obvious when the adjuster isn&#8217;t following the law. &nbsp; The time limit to appeal an adverse determination by the adjuster is a short 70 days. &nbsp;An injured worker can lose valuable rights by not getting immediate help.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wanting to educate themselves. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Injured workers know that&nbsp;&nbsp;they are at a disadvantage because they don&#8217;t know the law. &nbsp;The smart ones take advantage of a free consultation with a lawyer to get correct information .&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the only&nbsp;service you want on your comp &nbsp;claim is for an attorney to get you money, then you are probably shortchanging yourself.&nbsp;
