Virginia Workers’ Compensation: Lost Income and Loss of Earning Potential

The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act obligates that virtually all businesses and organizations in the Commonwealth must obtain no-fault work injury insurance coverage for employees. If you work for a company in Virginia Beach, you should be covered by workers’ comp. After a job-related injury or illness, you can seek benefits. As a basis, you are entitled to workers’ comp benefits for:

All medical care reasonably related to your work injury or job-related illness; and
Financial support for lost income—paid at two-thirds your average weekly earnings.

When you are able to return to work, your workers’ comp benefits for lost income will be cut off—at least assuming you are capable of returning to your previous position and earning the same amount of money that you did before the injury. In some cases, injured workers are required to take a light-duty position for weeks, months, years, or even permanently. If you had to accept a lower-paying light-duty position in Virginia Beach, you can claim additional compensation for your loss of earning power in the form of temporary partial disability benefits (TDP benefits).
