For almost a generation now, the injury lawyer team at Kidwell & Gallagher has been successfully seeing clients through personal injury claims and worker's comp claims. They understand that time is usually of the essence when it comes to seeking medical coverage. However, not all maladies are alike, and many people underestimate the severity of their injuries—or don't realize how badly they've been hurt until much later. Which begs the question: can you reopen a claim on behalf on an old injury?

In the state of Nevada, the answer is yes. In fact, the silver state is one of the only states that allows injured parties to reopen a claim at any point, whether it's five years or 20 years after the fact. In other words, there's no statute of limitations.

However, such rules only apply to employees who've been awarded Permanent Partial Disability benefits, or to employees who have missed a certain amount of work as a result of their injuries. Any cases that the above circumstances do not apply to must be reopened within a year of their original claim closures, which is where the intervention of a skilled attorney becomes essential. You'll need to prove that your original injury is the source of ongoing medical distress (a reality that insurance companies never like to face). But a lawyer will do his or her utmost to make sure you get the benefits and compensation you deserve.

The sooner you contact the team at the Kidwell & Gallagher law firm, the sooner you can start fighting for what's rightfully yours. And once you do get compensated for your injuries, you can look forward to being relieved of medical debt and to concentrating fully on your recovery. To find out more, call (775) 738-9877 and start moving forward with your case.
