Case Synopsis
In an opinion drafted by Justice Stiglich, the Nevada Supreme Court considered whether undocumented immigrants who are injured while working for a Nevada employer are eligible for monetary disability benefits. The Court unanimously concluded that an undocumented worker suffering trauma due to a workplace accident is entitled to permanent total disability, despite a third-party insurance administrator’s insistence that his inability to work was due solely to his immigration status.
