NRS 616C.480 Reduction of benefits for previous injury causing permanent
partial disability prohibited. If
an employee who has received compensation in a lump sum for a permanent partial
disability is subsequently injured by an accident arising out of and in the
course of his or her employment and is thereby entitled to receive compensation
for a temporary total disability, the compensation for the subsequent injury
may not be reduced because of the receipt of the lump-sum payment if the
subsequent injury is distinct from the previous injury.
