Virginia’s Workers’ Compensation Laws Protect Victims of Industrial Accidents

The industrial environment contains certain inherent hazards, especially in such areas as manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, logistics, and many more. Accidents are a common occurrence, as are the injuries that result from them, such as:

  • Broken bones from slips and trips on slippery surfaces;
  • Head injuries and concussion due to falls;
  • Getting hit by falling debris;
  • Strains and sprains from repetitive body movement;
  • Cuts, scrapes, and abrasions;
  • Inhalation of hazardous fumes;
  • Burns from fires and explosion;
  • Injuries from a vehicle accident;
  • Eye and ear injuries; and,
  • Many more.

By law, almost all Virginia employers must carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover employees who are the victims of industrial accidents. Though you do not need to show fault when filing a claim, the insurer may deny benefits for many different reasons. Disputes are common, requiring you to pursue your claim through the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission (VWCC).

Mr. Jan Hoen is skilled in the workers’ compensation claims process, from the filing the initial forms and supporting documents to taking your case to the VWCC. He is persistent in dealing with insurance companies and will fight to ensure you receive the benefits you deserve by law. If necessary, he will take your case to court to protect your rights.

Eligibility for Workers’ Comp Benefits

Not all employees, employers, and work-related incidents are covered by Virginia’s workers’ compensation laws. To qualify for benefits you must:

  • Be an eligible employee, as opposed to an independent contractor or other types of workers;
  • Be employed by a company that has two or more part- or full-time employees, as smaller employers are not required to carry insurance; and,
  • Have suffered injuries in an industrial accident that occurred while you were performing work-related tasks.
