My Virginia Workers’ Compensation case has been been accepted. What should I do now?

If you haven’t yet filed a claim, make sure you get a formal claim filed. Make sure you follow your doctor’s advice 100% and make sure your employer knows what’s going on. You have an affirmative obligation to let your employer know of your injury immediately. Make sure you keep receipts for all your out of pocket expenses, and keep records of your mileage for submission to the insurance company. If the insurance company is asking for recorded statement, you should consider hiring a lawyer. Workers’ Compensation Insurance companies have very experienced and knowledgeable personnel who can and will try obtain every advantage so they can avoid paying your claim.
