Getting the Compensation You Deserve
If you have suffered injuries at work or while you were performing a job-related duty, you have a right under Virginia workers' compensation law to compensation for your medical expenses and partial compensation for your lost wages.
Workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance plan covering virtually all workplace or work-related injuries. It does not matter who was at fault for your injuries — you are still entitled to compensation.
If your employer denies your workers' compensation claim, you may appeal it, and if your appeals fail, you may be able to pursue compensation through litigation in court. Also, if your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim, you may be entitled to sue for damages.
