What is Workers’ Compensation in Virginia?
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance system that provides benefits to employees who are injured on the job, regardless of who caused the accident. Centreville’s workforce spans sectors such as professional services, healthcare, construction, retail, and government positions and injuries can occur in a wide range of work environments.
Key workers’ compensation facts
- Report your injury promptly: You must notify your employer of your work-related injury as soon as possible and generally within 30 days of the accident or diagnosis to preserve your claim.
- Time to file a claim: Virginia law generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a workers’ compensation claim with the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission (VWC).
- Benefits: Potential benefits include medical treatment, partial wage replacement, temporary or permanent disability payments, and vocational rehabilitation when applicable.
- No-fault system: You do not need to prove your employer was negligent — just that your injury occurred in the course and scope of your employment.
- Denials & hearings: If your claim is denied, you can request a hearing before a Deputy Commissioner of the VWC and present evidence and testimony to support your case.
