Injury
When an individual has experienced an injury or an occupational disease in the workplace, it is important to give
immediate notice to the employer about the injury. Employers are required to le a First Report of Injury (FROI) within
ten (10) days of having knowledge of any injury.
Claim Form
Pursuant to Va. Code §65.2-601, a claim for specic benets must be led within two (2) years from the date of injury.
Even if the Claim Administrator is voluntarily paying benets, rights are not protected unless there is an Award
Order.
Award Order
If the Claim Administrator accepts the claim, an Award Agreement is sent to the injured worker. Once signed by all
parties, the Award Agreement must be led with the Commission for entry of the Award Order. An Award Order protects
the injured workers rights to benets.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Mediation is a voluntary and condential informal dispute resolution process where a neutral third party (mediator)
facilitates communication to assist the parties in mediating an agreeable solution. The purpose of mediation is to identify
issues, clarify misunderstandings, explore solutions and mediate an agreement. For further information, contact the
ADR Department at 804-205-3139.
Hearing
A hearing may be necessary to resolve disputed issues. A completed Claim Form and medical records* to support the
claim must be led for this to occur. The primary objective is to hear and decide disputed claims and issues arising
under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act in a prompt, fair and impartial manner.

Temporary Total Disability - wage loss replacement while completely out of work. Must be medically authorized.

Benets Covered under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act
*Medical Records & Subpoenas
Copies of medical records may be obtained from the physician. However, if copies of medical records and/or bills

Clerk of the Commission. A $12 money order made payable to the Sheri of the city or county where the medical
provider is located must be included for each subpoena.
