Frequently Asked Questions

Does Virginia Employment Law handle Social Security disability cases?
The firm's listed practice areas focus on employment law and workers compensation rather than Social Security disability claims. However, if your workplace injury has led to a long-term disability, the attorneys can discuss how your workers comp benefits may affect other disability programs.
What should I do right after a workplace injury in Virginia?
You should report the injury to your employer as soon as possible, seek medical attention, and document everything about the incident. Virginia has strict deadlines for filing workers compensation claims, so contacting an attorney early can help protect your right to benefits.
Can my employer fire me for filing a workers compensation claim in Virginia?
Virginia law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who file workers compensation claims. If you believe you were terminated or otherwise punished for asserting your rights, an employment attorney can evaluate whether you have a retaliation claim.
What is a reasonable accommodation under employment law?
A reasonable accommodation is a change to the work environment or job duties that allows an employee with a disability to perform their job. Examples include modified schedules, assistive equipment, or reassignment. Employers are generally required to provide these unless doing so creates an undue hardship.
How long do I have to file a workers compensation claim in Virginia?
In Virginia, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim with the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to benefits, so it is important to act promptly.
