Filing a Claim Under Workers' Compensation
Making timely notice to your employer and timely filing of your claim are both vital to the success of obtaining workers' compensation benefits. Although you have two years to file, you are ill-served by any delay in either notice or filing. Once you have immediately notified your employer of the accident with details, seek immediate medical attention and care for any injuries you sustained.
Next, contact me and I will submit a letter of representation and claim of benefits to relevant insurance carriers and parties. Timely compliance with the filing rules of the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission will do wonders for the success of your case. I will seek wage and medical benefits on your behalf by acting as your attorney throughout this entire process and maximize both your benefits and the ultimate resolution of your claim.
Awards are issued after a hearing before an administrative law judge or if an agreement is reached by the parties. Any resolution must be approved by the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission. I have been practicing before this commission for more than 15 years and am very familiar with all the commissioners and defense firms in Virginia and the District of Columbia. If necessary, I am more than prepared to litigate as I have also won appeals in workers' compensation cases before the Virginia Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of Virginia.
