Re: workers compensation
As a Virginia Workers Compensation lawyer for 35 years, I can tell you that you may have a statute of limitations problem. You were supposed to file a claim for this injury with the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission within two (2) years of the date of your injury. Since your accident was five (5) years ago this may be a problem. You can contact the Commission to find out if you can still file a Claim for Benefits.
