Workers' Compensation

In matters of workers' compensation, our attorneys represent self-insured companies, insurers, third-party administrators, and public and private employers. We handle litigation at all levels, from initial hearings and ADR proceedings, to appeals before the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission, Virginia Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court of Virginia. 

In addition to defending against claims, we also provide claim management strategy and counsel on topics such as:

• workplace safety
• prevention of claims
• risk management
• transitional duty
• medical treatment and causation issues
• panels of physicians
• protection of Medicare's interests 

We also assist employers and insurers in their efforts to protect and recover workers’ compensation liens in cases involving an employee injured by the negligence of a third party.
