Resolving a workers’ compensation matter can be a time-consuming experience whether you are an injured employee, an insurer or an uninsured employer. It takes substantial know-how to navigate Virginia’s claims and appeals processes successfully. When you partner with a seasoned Roanoke workers’ compensation lawyer, however, you do not have to manage these tasks alone.

Miller & Webb, LLP, handles all aspects of workers’ compensation claims, including accidental injuries and occupational diseases, from the employee’s, the insured employer’s, and the uninsured employer’s perspective. Our legal team further protects subrogation liens arising out of the payment of workers’ compensation benefits. With our help, this confusing process can seem much easier.

He served as the vice chair in the VADA Workers’ Compensation Section and has spoken at the National Workers’ Compensation and Occupational Medicine Seminar.

Both attorney Miller and attorney Webb are members of the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Inn of Court which promotes professionalism, ethics, civility and the highest legal skills essential to achieve justice under the rule of law. Our lawyers have also been voted as Best Lawyers in the area of workers’ compensation every year since 2013.

What To Do After A Workplace Injury In Roanoke

Here is a straightforward step-by-step guide to follow after an injury at work: 

• Report the injury immediately: Notify your employer as soon as possible and make sure the injury is formally reported within 30 days. Failing to do so could affect your ability to receive compensation.
• Seek medical attention: Always consult an approved physician for any work-related injury. Your medical records will be vital evidence when pursuing your claim.
• File a claim with the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission (VWCC): The claim must be filed within two years from the date of the injury. You can submit it online or by mail.
• Keep all records: Save copies of every report, bill and communication related to your workplace accident. These documents strengthen your case.

During this stage, consulting a Roanoke workers’ compensation lawyer can help you meet deadlines, respond to insurer challenges and secure the full compensation you deserve. 

Types Of Workers’ Compensation Benefits

After a serious occupational injury, many workers worry about paying for medical treatment or supporting their families while unable to work. Common workers’ compensation benefits include: 

• Medical benefits: Coverage for doctor visits, hospital stays, prescriptions and physical therapy related to your work injury.
• Lost wage benefits: Includes Temporary Total Disability (TTD) for complete inability to work and Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) if you can work with restrictions or reduced hours.
• Permanent disability benefits: For lasting impairments that affect your ability to return to work.
• Additional benefits: Such as mileage reimbursement for medical appointments and costs of necessary medical devices.

Our team can help you pursue fair compensation to cover lost income and medical bills, helping ensure your family’s stability during recovery.
