By the case won previously, it is standard practice, precedence of the case very similar to the one claimed for, there is the blue book used as a guide line, but depending on the type of case, lots to put together on this case cost paid out etc.

No one case is the same

Generally speaking, worker's compensation settlements (Regardless of state jurisdiction) are based upon several factors including but not limited to the nature and extent of your injury, the body part injured,
the percentage of disability as determined by the treating physician and your average weekly wage.

Presuming you have an open claim I would recommend that you contact your adjuster to walk you through the specifics. Any adjuster worth their salt should be able to run the numbers & provide a ball park estimate under different scenarios and explain what you can expect under the Nevada worker's compensation act.
