Dear Sir: If your employer refuses to submit your claim to his insurance company, then you are obligated to file a claim yourself. You can call 804-367-8600, the number for the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission. You can request a Claim for Benefits form. You then fill it out and mail it back to the Commission. It is a good idea to include a medical report with the claim form that documents your disability. If you have additional questions call me at 1-800-256-862 or 1-804-358-4766. I have been handling workers comp matters for 25 years and I was recently recognized in Richmond Magazine as the Number One Workers Comp Attorney in Central Virginia.
