If you’ve been hurt on the job in Virginia Beach, you are generally eligible to file for workers’ compensation. A business with more than two employees in Virginia must carry workers’ compensation insurance. In most cases, injured employees are not permitted to file personal injury lawsuits against their employers. Instead, workers’ compensation pays their medical bills. With temporary total disability status for an injury, workers receive roughly two-thirds of their average weekly wages while recuperating, up to the annual state maximum reimbursement.
