Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim — including auto accidents, slip and fall injuries, and other negligence cases. This deadline is strict, and missing it can prevent you from recovering compensation.
Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible and no later than 30 days from the accident date. Seek prompt medical care, follow your doctor’s recommendations, and keep detailed records of your injuries and treatment.
No — Virginia’s workers’ compensation system operates on a no-fault basis, so you can receive benefits without proving your employer was negligent. However, you must show your injury occurred “in the course of and arising out of employment.”
In Virginia, your employer’s insurance carrier typically provides a panel of authorized physicians you can choose from. If you see a doctor not on that panel, the workers’ comp system may not pay for those visits.
You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life — depending on the nature and severity of your injuries.
If your claim is denied, you can appeal the decision and request a hearing before the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission. An experienced attorney can help prepare your case and represent you at hearings.
Healthcare workers often face unique injury risks like overexertion or patient-related incidents. Prompt reporting and documentation are crucial to ensure that injuries from repetitive tasks or workplace violence are properly covered under workers’ compensation.
