You Still Have Options!
Indeed, there is some chance that they will deny your claim, but it is worthwhile to contact us right away. For example, suppose your employer or the insurance carrier denies your claim or refuses to make certain payments. The insurance carrier believes that you are not entitled to benefits, and your employer is refusing to pay voluntarily. You may be able to appeal the decision with the help of an attorney.
Your attorney may prepare a written request to the Commission for a hearing, i.e., a trial. At the trial, you as the Plaintiff must prove that the work caused the injury or disease and disability through testimony, witnesses, and medical reports.
Perhaps the approved physician released you to light-duty. In that case, you must provide evidence that you have actively sought work with your pre-injury employer and other employers.
In any event, Virginia employees are entitled to a personal injury lawyer at the hearing though you may have to pay your expense. That is why you must contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to protect your rights as an injured employee. Regardless, the Workers' Compensation Commission makes the final decision whether the employer must pay for the injury or disease and reimburse attorneys' fees.
