Centreville Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

Workers Comp

When workers’ compensation operates the way it is supposed to, injured employees have their medical expenses paid and receive lost wages. Those seriously injured may receive long-term or permanent disability benefits. However, for a variety of reasons, sometimes valid claims are denied. If you are not receiving the benefits you deserve, or if the employer’s insurance company denies your claim, the Centreville personal injury law firm at Rutter Mills can help. Over the past 50 years, our experienced attorneys have represented thousands of workers and won their claims.

Workers’ Compensation in Virginia

Workers’ compensation laws vary by state. In Virginia, employers with three or more full-time or part-time workers are required to carry it. Therefore, the odds are that most employees are eligible for coverage when injured. Virtually anyone qualifies as an employee, even if they are temporary or seasonal, family members, or minors. Religious institutions and nonprofits are not exempt from workers’ comp regulations. Neither are sole proprietors. Workers’ comp insurance is mandatory, with few exemptions.

Employers hiring subcontractors must adhere to workers’ compensation requirements even if the subcontractor carries its own insurance.

One exception is an independent contractor since they are not employed by the company per se. However, this role is often exploited by some businesses. Upon scrutiny, they could prove to be employees. It depends on how much of the working relationship the company controls. If you think you may fall into the employee rather than independent contractor category, an experienced Centreville workers’ comp lawyers can help determine the facts.

There are exceptions to coverage and on-the-job injuries, such as those occurring due to employee misconduct, such as intoxication or fighting.

Workers’ comp covers only injuries occurring on the job, during regular or approved working hours. Most car accidents on the way to work do not qualify for workers’ comp coverage, but there are exceptions. If driving is a part of the job, a car accident during work is covered.

TESTIMONIALS How We Helped

Ray M

After getting hurt at work I had problems with workers compensation right away. Comp was denying claims for medical treatment and not paying correct amount of wages. I was very worried and stressed till I called Rutter Mills. Attorney Jesse Pound with paralegal Jordan Johnson made all my problems go away. Thank you so much for all your help.

Victor B.

What I loved about my Rutter Mills experience was the team approach they provided from start to finish. The paralegal Selena D. was always keeping me updated and accurately collecting information to make sure my case was on a strong foundation. My attorney, Adam Lotkin raises the bar to the highest standard. Adam's knowledge, experience, and grit afforded me the strongest settlement in my case. Top 1% settlement is the best way to describe it. Your attorney matters and I am so glad I choose Rutter Mills, Adam Lotkin, and team to represent my case. I will use Rutter Mills again for my future needs.
