Virginia Workers’ Compensation Claims: Shoulder Injuries
A shoulder injury is often painful and it can cause severe disruption to your day-to-day life. Even if you work in a relatively low-intensity position in an office, it may be unreasonable or outright impossible for you to safely do your job while you are recovering from a shoulder injury. Our Virginia Beach, VA workers’ comp lawyers help employees claim their fair and rightful benefits for the full spectrum of shoulder injuries, including:
A sprained or strained shoulder;
A dislocated shoulder;
A separated shoulder;
A torn rotator cuff;
A labral tear in the shoulder;
Damage to the shoulder cartilage;
Bicep tears and
Other types of shoulder pain and/or structural damage.
If you are getting ready to file for work injury benefits in the Hampton Roads region, your rights and responsibilities are largely governed by the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act. Under the Commonwealth’s workers’ comp laws, employees generally have 30 days to report their shoulder injury to their employer. You should also seek immediate medical attention from work-related shoulder pain. Doing so is important to protect your health and legal rights. As workers’ comp claims are no-fault cases, you do not have to prove that your employer caused your shoulder injury. Medical coverage and time-loss compensation should be available regardless of fault.
