Legal Question in Personal Injury in Virginia

Aside from subrogation rights, how does filing a personal injury claim against a negligent third-party driver affect the plaintiff's worker's compensation benefits and rights, and how does filing for workers comp affect the personal inury claims and recovery?

Can the state cut off benefits due to the personal injury claim being filed?

Does the worker's comp claim impair the ability to assert a personal injury claim?

What is the best timing and strategy for maximizing both sources of compensation?

More information is required (in my opinion) as to how these two issues (personal injury action and workman's compensation) are related (if at all)

in order to offer a credible opinion in response to these questions.
