Virginia Workplace Injury Lawyer

Some workplaces are more dangerous than others. However, employers in Virginia are required by law to maintain safe work environments for their employees. Many employers adhere to OSHA requirements to ensure this. Despite this, accidents can still occur. When they happen, they can have a devastating impact on the lives of the injured worker as well as their family. If you or a loved one has suffered a work-related injury, contact Attorney Drew Page for the guidance and representation of an experienced and skilled Virginia workplace injury lawyer.

Common Workplace Injuries 

Workplace accidents can occur at any time and affect anyone. They can result in various types of injuries. Some of the most common workplace injuries include: 

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Limb loss
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Burns
• Back injuries from repeated or heavy lifting
• Lacerations
• Soft tissue injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Neck injuries
• Herniated discs
• Slip and fall accidents
• Repetitive stress injuries
• Third-party claims 

What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover? 

Workers’ compensation insurance covers medical expenses related to the injury. These include bills for hospitalization, medication, medical tests, physical therapy, purchasing prosthetics, and other medical expenses. Workers are also compensated for the mileage covered when traveling to and from the healthcare provider. Workers’ compensation benefits also cover a portion (2/3) of your wages if you have had to miss work for at least seven days. 

If your loved one died as a result of the injuries suffered in a workplace accident, you can recover death benefits. 

Third-Party Claims 

Workers’ compensation does not cover all damages suffered as a result of the injuries suffered in a workplace accident. You can seek additional compensation by filing a third-party claim against any party that may have been responsible for the accident outside of your employer. For example, you can file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of defective equipment that caused your injuries. 

Unlike workers’ compensation claims, third-party claims are fault-based claims. You will therefore have to prove fault and demonstrate negligence on the part of the third party. Attorney Drew Page can help with this. He is an experienced Virginia workplace injury lawyer with a skilled and experienced team. Our team will investigate your claim to identify any third parties that may have caused the accident. We will develop evidence and build a strong claim on your behalf. You can rely on us for the best outcome in your case.
