Maria Black

Maria Black works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Nevada. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Maria Black handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Nevada, including Burn Injuries, Chemical Exposure, Workers Compensation, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Nevada, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Maria immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Maria Black's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 28 years of experience in Nevada workers' comp law, Maria knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Maria Black primarily serves clients in Ely and the surrounding Nevada area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in Nevada and were injured at work, contact Maria's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
