Danville Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

If you’re hurt at work, no matter how dangerous your job is, you’re eligible to collect workers’ compensation benefits. This employer-sponsored insurance coverage pays for all necessary physical and rehabilitative care for your work-related injury, plus provides a stipend while you’re out of work so that you can pay your bills. While this benefit is available to almost all Virginia employees, that doesn’t mean that injured people like you don’t face problems with your claim. Your employer may contest your claim, their insurance carrier may minimize the extent of your injury, or you may run into other issues. Fight back with the help of our Danville, VA workers’ compensation lawyer. Call The Law Offices of Mark T. Hurt today for a consultation.

Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Danville, VA

When you get hurt at work, there is a certain protocol that you must follow, including reporting the injury to your employer within a certain amount of time and going to an employer-approved doctor or urgent care center, plus follow-up requirements, like going to all medical appointments and precisely following your treating physician’s instructions. Failure to do your part for workers’ compensation can cause your benefits to be revoked or your claim to be denied. In fact, this is one of the main reasons insurance companies deny workers’ compensation claims.

We’ve seen many people who, even if they’ve done everything right and were legitimately injured at work, still have their claims denied. Our Danville workplace injury lawyer is here to ensure that you’re treated fairly and that you receive the benefits you’re entitled to. We can help you appeal a denied claim or minimize your benefits.

If your employer doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance, but is legally required to, your workplace injury becomes a whole different matter. To receive the money you need to cover your medical expenses, you’ll likely need to file a lawsuit for damages. We can help you there, too, and pursue the highest settlement possible, including consideration for your pain and suffering.
