Virginia Workers’ Compensation: An Overview

Under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act, the vast majority of employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance for their employers. Workers’ comp insurance exists to protect you in case something goes wrong and you are hurt at work. Here are four important things to know about workers’ compensation claims in Fairfax:

  1. Workers’ Comp Benefits are No-Fault Benefits: You are not required to prove that your employer was “at fault” for your injuries to be eligible to recover compensation. In Virginia, workers are covered by ‘no-fault’ insurance.
  2. You Need to Report Your Injury Immediately: Under Virginia law, injured workers have 30 days to notify their employer of a job-related injury or accident. Failure to do so could undermine your ability to recover benefits.
  3. Reporting an Accident is Not Sufficient: Notifying your supervisor is not the same thing as filing a claim. After you tell your employer, make sure you submit a workers’ compensation claim form with the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission. Although these claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, it is best to start the claims process as soon as possible to protect your benefits.
  4. You Have the Right to Appeal: If your workers’ compensation claim was denied by the insurance adjuster or you were offered unfairly low benefits, you have the right to appeal to the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission. Our Fairfax, VA workers’ compensation lawyers are standing by, ready to help.
