Isle of Wight Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

Workers Compensation Lawyers

Workplace injuries happen every day. Under Virginia law, most Isle of Wight County employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. However, just because your employer carries it does not mean your claim is guaranteed to be successful. Most insurance companies care about their bottom line, and denying claims is an important part of their business model.

Getting Help Is Your Right

After a workplace injury, it is understandable if you have questions.

At Rutter Mills, we know that you have questions, and we look forward to answering them. At the end of your consultation, there is no obligation to go any further with our firm.

Attempting to handle your own workers’ compensation claim is risky. Rutter Mills has more than 60 years of experience taking on the insurance companies and winning benefits for our clients. To discuss how we can help you, call to schedule your free consultation right away.

Compensatable Injuries

Workers’ compensation insurance policies only cover certain injuries for obvious reasons. The system was designed to provide benefits for workers injured on the job, meaning benefits are only available for injuries that occur within the scope of your employment. These injuries must have occurred while working or have their origin traced back to the workplace regardless of when the symptoms appear.

The law offers some flexibility in this area given the nature of workplace injuries. For example, injuries that do not occur at the workplace are covered as long as you were performing work duties. For example, a traveling salesperson on the way to an appointment could have a viable claim if they are injured in a vehicle accident on the way.

Alternatively, not every injury that occurs on company property will be covered. Injuries that occur due to horseplay do not qualify for compensation benefits. Neither do injuries that occur during a lunch break, even if you are at your place of business. These rules are complex and are best explained during a consultation with experienced Isle of Wight workers’ comp lawyers.
