Workers' Compensation
Workers injured on-the-job or in performing work-related duties are often unaware of the rights afforded them under the law. In Virginia, Workers' Compensation laws may provide money and medical benefits to an employee who has an injury as a result of an accident, injury, or occupational disease that is work-related. Workers' Compensation is designed to protect workers and their dependents against the hardships from injury or death arising out of the work environment.
The Law Office of Darren Shoen assists injured workers in obtaining maximum benefits for work-related injuries or occupational diseases. Assistance may be provided from the time of the initial injury, through the hearing stage and appeals process if necessary.
