If you are an employer in Nevada, you can search for workers’ compensation insurance carriers on the Nevada Division of Industrial Relations page. Currently, there are about 400 authorized insurance companies providing workers’ compensation insurance in Nevada.
Alternatively, you can contact a business insurance broker to match you with a workers’ comp insurer that best meets your company’s needs.
If you have at least one employee, Nevada workers’ compensation laws require your company to carry workers’ comp insurance. There is no exception for small businesses, and it does not matter whether business operations are located in Las Vegas, Reno, or a rural area.

Your employees just need to follow protocol (such as providing you notice of injury and completing the required paperwork) to collect on workers’ comp.6
