What to Know about Workplace Injuries

Workers’ compensation is considered a no-fault system, which means that an employee does not need to show fault or negligence in order to collect compensation for their injuries, only that the accident occurred while at work. In exchange for these benefits, an employee gives up the right to sue their employer for additional compensation.

In Virginia, workers’ compensation covers all injuries caused by an accident or illness while on the job and in the course of business. Notice must be given to the employer about the injury within thirty days, and a claim must be filed with the state’s workers’ compensation commission within two years of the accident or illness that caused the injury. Known as the statute of limitations, failure to file a claim in this time limit could result in the court throwing out your case.

Benefits You are Entitled To

Virginia workers’ compensation provides a myriad of benefits to workers injured while on the job. This includes medical benefits for any reasonably necessary care like doctor’s visits, hospitalization, testing, medication, physical therapy, and mileage. It also provides wage replacement in the forms of temporary total disability while recovering and temporary partial disability if an employee is able to return to light work at a lower wage. Permanent partial and permanent total disability payments are provided if the accident results in some form of permanent disability, and in the worst cases of workplace accidents death benefits are provided to the family of the employee.
