NAC616B.932. Submission of notice of injury.

     1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2 and 3, an offender or someone acting on his or her behalf shall submit the notice of injury pursuant to the provisions of NRS 616C.015.

     2. The notice of injury must be submitted to the administrator of the county jail, city jail or other local detention facility or a designated agent thereof.

     3. The administrator of the jail or other detention facility or a designated agent shall file the notice with its insurer within 15 days after he or she receives it. If an offender submits the notice of injury to the administrator of the jail or other detention facility or a designated agent within the time provided by NRS 616C.015, the failure of the administrator of the jail or other detention facility or a designated agent to file the notice with its insurer within 15 days does not bar a claim for compensation.

     4. Incarceration is not an excuse for failure to submit a timely notice of injury.
