Workers’ Comp for Shoulder Injuries in Virginia

Shoulder injuries are among the most common work-related injuries reported in Central Virginia. These injuries can occur in a wide variety of different ways—from slip and fall accidents to lifting injuries. Gradual wear-and-tear performing repetitive tasks can be a way to injure your shoulder as well, but this is not covered by Virginia Workers Compensation laws. The injury to your shoulder must be from an immediate specific event. As workers often need to lift, twist, and perform other physically intense tasks on a day-to-day basis, shoulder injuries are a risk. These injuries always require immediate medical attention. Common work-related shoulder injuries include:

• Shoulder sprains and strains;
• Shoulder dislocation;
• Shoulder separation;
• Rotator cuff tears;
• Labral shoulder tears;
• Bicep tendon tears; and
• Damaged cartilage.

The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act mandates that nearly all employers in the Commonwealth must provide no-fault work injury coverage to employees. If you suffered a shoulder injury on the job, Virginia law requires you to notify your employer within 30 days. Upon doing so, you can file a claim to seek benefits for all proper and necessary medical care, wage loss compensation, and long-term permanent impairment.
