Following a work accident, injured workers are predictably in need of prompt medical attention and income. This is typically a vulnerable time for injured workers, and it is unfortunately also a time that is filled with unreturned telephone calls from insurance companies, leaving the worker with many unanswered questions. In the event that the insurance company does call, they will likely ask for a recorded statement.
Injured workers often believe that their employer is appropriately handling and filing their workers’ compensation claims. So many times, an injured worker believes that their workers’ compensation rights are protected because they have received medical treatment or disability payments. However, mere payment of medical bills and disability payments do not establish an Award Order with the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission.
