    When do you need a workers’ compensation attorney in Virginia?

    MichaelBy MichaelMay 19, 2022No Comments3 Mins Read

    The workers’ compensation system in Virginia is meant to be simple and fair. If you were injured at work, you are entitled to benefits, and since this is a no-fault system, it doesn’t matter whether you were at fault for the accident in any manner. Here comes the big question – Should you consider hiring a workers’ comp lawyer VA? In this post, let’s look at the basic aspects and why lawyering up is so important. 

    Hiring a lawyer is not mandatory

    As far as the law is concerned, you don’t need to mandatorily hire an attorney to file a workers’ compensation claim. If your injuries are minor, such as just a few cuts or minor burns, you can possibly manage your claim on your own. You can also avoid a lawyer if you have not missed work for a long time and are likely to recover soon without future concerns. 

    Get a free consultation

    Remember that the insurance company is not on your side. These companies are here to make money and routinely deny hundreds of workers’ compensation claims. The good news is most of the top law firms in Virginia would be happy to offer a free consultation session with one of their lawyers or members of the paralegal team. You can expect to understand the workers’ compensation system better and have a better sense of how the claims process works. Many lawyers even share a free strategy plan with clients if they agree to work with the attorney. 

    When you definitely need an attorney

    There are some circumstances when you would benefit more from lawyering up. You should definitely seek legal advice from your lawyer if – 

    1. You had pre-existing injuries or disabilities. The insurance company would want to use this info to deny your claim. 
    2. Your injuries are such that you are unable to return to work. 
    3. You require risky surgery or invasive procedures for your injuries.
    4. This is the second or third injury of the same nature, affecting the same body part. 
    5. You have a third-party injury claim.

    Truth be told, the workers’ compensation system is often confusing for injured workers, and since insurance adjusters are rarely honest, things only get complex. If your claim has been denied, you should talk to a lawyer and decide about the future course of action. Because you can get a free review of your workers’ compensation claim, it’s best to talk to an attorney.
