An Overview of Virginia’s Workers’ Comp Laws

If you or your loved one suffered an injury, illness, or impairment in the workplace in Fredericksburg, it is imperative that you are aware of your rights under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act. Here are four key things to know:

  • You Must Tell Your Employer: Virginia law puts obligations on both employers and employees. Injured workers have a duty to inform their employer that they were hurt on the job. Tell your supervisor immediately after an accident.
  • You are Not Required to Prove Fault: Unlike personal injury lawsuits, fault is not a required element in a workers’ comp claim. You can get benefits even if your Fredericksburg employer was not at fault for your accident.
  • Medical Coverage and Wage Replacement are the Basis of Your Claim: In most cases, the basis of a workers’ comp claim is medical coverage and wage loss benefits. Your insurance should cover all medical care that is necessary. Additionally, you are entitled to financial payments worth two-thirds of your average wage for the time you need to take off to recover from the accident.
  • A Denial Can Be Appealed: For a number of different reasons, an initial workers’ comp claim may be denied. Do not give up on your right to compensation without a fight. Call our Fredericksburg, VA workers’ comp appeals lawyers for immediate assistance.
