Workers Compensation

With over 100 years of combined experience and a proven record of success—including handling the four largest workers’ compensation cases in Virginia—our team has what it takes to guide you through the legal process. Assisting clients with:

Back and spinal injuries – Back injuries are among the most frequent workers’ compensation claims. They often occur when employees lift heavy objects, twist improperly, or experience sudden trauma during a fall or accident.

Shoulder and knee injuries – Law firms frequently handle cases involving joint injuries, particularly the shoulders and knees. These injuries can occur from lifting, repetitive work, or falls. Shoulder injuries in particular are often cited as one of the most frequent injuries seen in workers’ compensation cases in Virginia.

Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) – These injuries develop over time due to repeated motions or long-term strain. They are common in office jobs, manufacturing, construction, and logistics. Because these injuries develop gradually, employers sometimes dispute whether they are work-related, which often leads to legal involvement.

“Struck-By” or falling object injuries – Workers can be injured when struck by equipment, tools, falling materials, or vehicles. These incidents are common in construction, warehousing, and manufacturing. Being struck by objects is a significant source of workplace injuries and compensation claims.

Machinery and industrial accidents – In industrial workplaces, employees may suffer severe injuries from equipment or machinery. These accidents often lead to permanent disability claims, which require legal representation.

Broken bones and fractures – Fractures frequently occur in workplace accidents such as falls, vehicle crashes, or equipment incidents. Workers’ compensation cases often involve these injuries because they can require surgery and lengthy recovery periods.

Occupational illnesses and toxic exposure – Some workers develop illnesses due to exposure to hazardous substances or unsafe conditions. These cases may arise gradually and often require medical evidence to prove the workplace connection.

Hear it From Our Clients

I had been delivering packages for almost 43 years, and I was very close to retirement. Like I do every day, I picked up a box for delivery. Something seemed off, so I put it back down. I told my employer that I believe I was hurt but kept working. Fifteen minutes later, I couldn’t pick up anything.

I had torn my distal bicep tendon from my shoulder all the way to my elbow. The pain was intense, but the insurance company wouldn’t give me an MRI at first. They just said it was a strain and put me through physical therapy, which made it worse. The insurance company was problematic. When I tried to talk to them about my pain, the person treating me told me they weren’t even a doctor. I was misdiagnosed. I knew I needed to call a lawyer. A local personal injury firm recommended that I call Reinhardt | Harper | Davis, and I’m so glad I did.

I met with Stephen and he really listened to me. I walked out of that office feeling positive about how this situation for the first time in seven months. I finally got an MRI that showed the tear, which was worsened by the doctors making me do physical therapy first. I got the surgery, went through a new round of physical therapy, and am feeling much better now.

Working with Reinhardt | Harper | Davis was so easy. They addressed every issue immediately, properly, neatly. Whenever the insurance company tried to pull something on the defense side, my team made sure it wasn’t happening. And my legal assistant Kim was like a sous chef. She said, “I need this, I need that,” and prepared everything for Stephen – and she was on point. She made me feel comfortable, and I was excited to meet her in person. Stephen was awesome – on top of everything, and great to work with. Now I can retire in peace!

If anyone out here is unfortunate enough to be hurt in a work accident, look no further than Reinhardt | Harper | Davis.
