Legal Question in Workers Comp in Virginia

Re: Medication

I have been a Virginia Workers Comp Lawyer for over 35 years. I can tell you that each case is different. Each insurance company is different. You say you wish to "settle" your case after your surgery. The insurance company is usually interested in settling a case if it is "cheaper" for them to do this rather than continue to pay you weekly compensation and medical care. If the insurance company thinks it is "cheaper" to give you a lump sum settlement it will do so rather than continuing to pay you on an ongoing basis. It can help to utilize an experienced Workers Comp Lawyer to obtain the best settlement. You may have to show the Commission you have an alternative way to pay your medical bills.

Re: Medication

You can settle your case. The issue is for how much. It takes both you and the insurance adjuster to agree to an amount.The key is to maximize the settlement so you can move on with your life. What I like to do is evaluate your circumstances and come up with a figure that you need. Then, I evaluate your case to see if we can get you that amount and then we start negotiating with the insurance carrier.The best case scenerio is that we can get you the amount you need and the worst case scenerio is that you at least know it is in your best interest to remain on your benefits than take too small of a settlement. I would be more than happy to talk with you. Check out my website. injuredworkerslawfirm.com
