Summary

<p>SB 258 addresses a narrow but urgent issue: when a Nevada worker is injured on the job by a third party, like a drunk driver or reckless hotel guest, this bill ensures the worker receives a fair share of any lawsuit settlement.</p> <p>Right now, big insurance companies are seizing 100% of those settlements, even when they&rsquo;re not enough to cover medical costs, leaving the injured worker with nothing.</p> <p>Why SB 258 is important:</p> <ul> <li>Nevada is now the ONLY state without any legal formula to fairly divide third-party recoveries.</li> <li>A recent court decision (Amtrust v. Vasquez, 2024) struck down the old system but provided no replacement, leaving injured workers vulnerable to abuse.</li> <li>Insurance companies are refusing to negotiate, claiming they&rsquo;re entitled to everything&mdash;even when the employee is still in pain, out of work, or struggling to pay bills.</li> </ul> <p><br />SB 258 restores balance and fairness. Nevada workers harmed by others should not walk away with nothing.</p> <p>Contact your legislators today and urge them to stand&nbsp;with this measure. Together, we can protect Nevada&rsquo;s legal system.</p>
