Have you been hurt on the job in Lynchburg? Work injuries are common throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Thankfully, Virginia law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. But obtaining workers’ compensation benefits is often easier said than done. After all, you are dealing with an insurance company at the end of the day. They are well known for going to extreme lengths to deny a claim. However, with the help of a skilled attorney, you could obtain the benefits you deserve.

For more than 60 years, Rutter Mills has fought for the rights of injury victims in Lynchburg. We know that medical bills can be crippling, especially when coupled with missing paychecks during your recovery. That is why we are proud to serve as a Lynchburg workers’ compensation law firm—with extensive experience in workman comp claims. Call right away to discuss this in-depth during a free consultation.

Remember– your physical health should be your top priority after an accident. That is why your first step should always be to obtain the necessary first aid or medical care, depending on the severity of your injuries. Seeking prompt medical treatment will usually strengthen your claim. However, if you delay treatment, the insurance company will likely argue you were never hurt, to begin with, or your injury occurred away from work.

After your health is stabilized, you must inform your employer or supervisor of the accident. In many cases, they will already know. However, the rules require that you provide notice of an injury as soon as possible.

Another crucial step after a workplace accident is discussing your options with experienced Lynchburg workers’ compensation lawyers. Your lawyer can not only advise you on how to proceed with your claim but serve as your advocate in discussions with the insurance company.

If your claim is ultimately successful, there are a broad range of benefits that could be available. Every claim is different, and the benefits awarded in one case might differ substantially from another. By working closely with Lynchburg workers’ compensation attorneys, you could ensure that you get all of the benefits that you are eligible for, which could include:

Lifetime medical benefits
Partial or total disability benefits
Wage replacement
Death benefits
Mileage reimbursement
Vocational rehabilitation

Rita Y.

Very professional. Made me feel very comfortable through the whole process.

Yolanda K

I would like to thank kamilah White , and Erik Porcaro , for all work they have done with my case. They were both very professional, very patient and very informative. They kept me up-to-date with everything that was going on with my case. Great teamwork. An excellent job!

Shavante M.

Being involved in my first motor vehicle incident was scary and confusing (as you could imagine); but the Rutter Mills team helped me navigate everything from start to finish. I worked with Will Nexsen and his colleagues Lindsey and Denise. They made it a point to keep me informed with constant updates to my case, explaining what to expect if/when we were to go to court and just making sure I was okay and If anything was needed from them to help make this as easy for me as possible. In the end, they worked to get an offer that satisfied me and helped to keep me out of court. That was a huge blessing as I am at the end of my 1st pregnancy and not sure how the back and forth would have taken a toll on me; so my family and I are very grateful for that.

Shain S.

Superb service. Being represented by them was a very positive experience. I recommended them on every level. They not only did a wonderful and successful job, but were caring and responsive to my questions and concerns along the way. Ten out of ten.
