A work accident can happen to anyone at any time. While certain jobs have much higher accident rates than others– construction, for example– even people who work in offices and perform little in the way of physical labor can experience slips, falls, and other issues that put them out of work either temporarily or for the long-term.

While failing to follow the correct procedure results in denial, there are other reasons as well. Sometimes, an inadvertent statement on the claim is given as a reason for denial, even though the worker has a good case. An injured person may state they did not feel pain right after the accident, which is not uncommon.
Many musculoskeletal injuries may not become apparent for 24 hours or more, but some insurance companies may consider the lack of “instant” pain a reason for denial. Workers’ compensation regulations are complicated, and insurers count on many injured employees becoming too intimidated to fight a claim denial.
Deltaville Workers’ comp lawyers can ensure that your documentation is filed properly and on time and will protect your rights against the insurance company.
Each state has its own rules regarding workers’ compensation benefits. In Virginia, such benefits may include:
Workplace injuries or illnesses may result in death. Eligible family members may receive death benefits from workers’ compensation.
If you’ve been injured on the job, workers’ compensation insurance may entitle you to critical assistance like medical treatment, lost wages, and more. But insurance companies will put up an aggressive fight to resist paying you the compensation you need and deserve. Rutter Mills can help get you the money you deserve.
