When your employer agrees to pay you benefits, the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act requires them to file an Award Agreement with the Commission. This document requires the signature of the injured worker and the employer or insurance company. Common sense dictates that before you sign legal document, you consult with a lawyer. This form allows the injured worker to receive an Award of Compensation. Without an Award the insurance company can stop your benefits at any time, and for any reason. Here is the 2008 revision of the Award Agreement form from the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission to be filed in all accidents occurring after October 1, 2008.    award-agreement
