Casinos & Cornstalks: Legislative Reform in Nevada & Nebraska With Gary Wickert

From the bright lights of Nevada to the cornfields of Nebraska, subrogation is getting a legislative makeover. In this episode of the Subrogation Support Network, host Ashton Kirsch sits down with Gary Wickert to unpack sweeping workers’ compensation reforms in two states that couldn’t be more different—but are shaping the same conversation.

Ashton and Gary explore how Nevada went from one of the toughest places for comp subrogation to a state offering clearer, common-sense rules, while Nebraska grapples with court rulings that threaten to sideline recovery altogether. Together, they highlight what these changes mean for claims professionals, why legislative compromise matters, and how reform efforts impact employers, insurers, and the subrogation industry at large. It’s a practical, state-specific look at where subrogation is headed—and why it matters to anyone working in insurance and risk.
