Workers’ Comp for Neck and Back Injuries in Virginia
There are few things more frustrating or frightening than sustaining a significant neck or back injuries. These injuries always require professional medical attention. Not only are they often more severe than initially recognized, but neck and back issues can easily become exacerbated. Your injuries may get worse without proper care. Some of the most common types of neck and back injuries include:
- Whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders;
- Neck fractures;
- Cervical dislocation;
- Herniated discs;
- Bulging discs;
- Compression fractures,

- Thoracic spine injuries;
- Lumbar spine (lower back) injuries;
- Spinal degeneration;
- Spinal stenosis;
- Radiculopathy;
- Pinched or Compressed nerve;
- Facet Joint injuries; and
- Cervical myelopathy.
Under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act, most employees in the Commonwealth are covered by no-fault workers’ comp insurance. If you suffered a neck or back injury on the job, you must report the injury to your employer within 30 days. You must also file a workers’ compensation claim with the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission to seek coverage for all proper and necessary medical treatment and wage loss compensation.
