What to Know About Workers’ Comp and Lost Wages Virginia

Were you hurt on the job in Fairfax? If so, you probably have questions about exactly how much you are entitled to receive in workers’ comp benefits. The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act provides no-fault benefits for:

All medical treatment that is reasonably related to your workplace accident; and
Compensation for lost wages—paid at two-thirds the rate of your average earnings.

Under Virginia Commonwealth law, coverage for medical treatment and compensation for lost wages (when an employee is forced to miss time at work) form the basis of most workers’ comp claims. It is crucial that you are able to recover these benefits.

Light Duty Assignment and Reduced Pay

In some cases, injured workers are able to return to the job in a so-called ‘light-duty’ position. A light-duty assignment can come in many different forms—it could be part-time work during a person’s recovery or it could be a reassignment to a new, less physically-demanding job.

The issue is that light-duty assignments sometimes result in workers earning less money than they did prior to their injury. In Virginia, you can pursue financial compensation for this loss of earning power. You may be entitled to temporary partial disability benefits (TDP benefits) if your total income was reduced because you had to move into a light-duty position.
