Legal Question in Workers Comp in Virginia
Back surgery
I had two herniated disk and a compressed nerve, I had a decetomy to decompress my nerve, the surgery made my nerve worse and my disk are crushed my doctor says. I could have permanant damage since the insurance co waited so long, 5 months to approve the proceedure ''my dotor told me that'', The nerve can also take 6 months to heal if it does. Can there be any liability towards them for the delay?? I'm a young construction worker that went from 90k a year for 5 years now i cant even drive my own car lol.

Probably not. You should have an attorney help you with the work comp case. Good luck.
Re: Back surgery
Unfortunately no. However, you have a significant injury and need to make sure you are protected. The injured worker has the burden of proof and there are statutue of limitations as well. There are many benefits and the insurance company does not have any obligation to tell you . My reccomendation is to obtain an attorney to find out what your rights and obligations are.

Re: Back surgery
I can tell you based on 35 years of practice as a workers compensation attorney in Virginia you cannot sue your employer for your injury if he provides workers compensation for your injury.
