NAC616B.970. Submission of notice of injury.  


Latest version.
  •      1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2 and 3, an offender or any person acting on his or her behalf shall submit the notice of injury in the manner provided in NRS 616C.015.

         2. The notice of injury must be submitted to the Deputy Director of Industrial Programs of the Department of Corrections.

         3. The Deputy Director of Industrial Programs shall file the notice with the insurer providing coverage under the modified program of industrial insurance within 15 days after receiving the notice. If the offender or a person acting on his or her behalf submits the notice of injury to the Deputy Director within the time prescribed by NRS 616C.015, the failure of the Deputy Director to file the notice with the insurer within 15 days does not bar a claim for compensation.

         4. Incarceration of the offender is not an excuse for failure to submit a notice of injury within the period prescribed by NRS 616C.015.
