Nevada Supreme Court

Olvera v. Wynn Las Vegas

September 28, 2023

Summary

The court held that a claimant seeking to reopen a workers’ compensation claim accepted for multiple body parts need establish a change in circumstances only for the body part requiring additional compensation. Because substantial evidence supported reopening Olvera’s claim for lumbar-spine treatment but not for any other body part, the court affirmed the denial of her petition for judicial review.
