In most NV jurisdictions, the lien filing deadline runs from last day on the project OR last delivery of materials, whichever is later — but several states use a project-wide cutoff (substantial completion) regardless of when your specific work ended. Counting the wrong start date is the leading cause of waived liens.
A blown lien deadline drops your collateral down to a personal-guaranty claim, which often means recovery cents on the dollar. The window is short — 60 to 120 days in most states.
Most construction contracts require change orders to be in writing, but many states enforce an "oral modification" exception when the parties' conduct shows agreement — especially when the changed work is performed and accepted without protest. Continued performance without written change orders can waive the writing requirement entirely.
Contractors who do extra work hoping to "true it up later" routinely lose those claims because the conduct shows acceptance of the original scope. A signed change order before the work is the cleanest evidence of agreement.
Recordable injuries (OSHA 300 log entries) include any that require medical treatment beyond first aid. Reportable injuries — which trigger an immediate notification to OSHA — are limited to fatalities (within 8 hours) and inpatient hospitalizations, amputations, or eye losses (within 24 hours). The categories are not the same.
Confusing the two leads to either over-reporting (creating audit triggers) or under-reporting (which is itself a citation-worthy violation). Knowing the distinction protects both the safety record and the regulatory posture.
