Goodrich & Watson:

Delivering Virginia Workers Compensation Insurance Solutions for On-the-Job Injuries & Illnesses

VA Workers Compensation insurance coverage is mandatory in the Commonwealth of Virginia and is designed to provide employees hurt on the job with medical benefits and wage replacement while out of work. Workers Compensation also represents a significant expenditure for business across all industry segments due to rising medical costs, fraud, a company’s loss history and how these losses compare to other comparable businesses within its sector, and frequency and severity of claims, among other issues.

Return-to-Work Programs

A return to work (RTW) program is a proactive process used by an employer to help employees who have suffered work related injuries or illnesses return to their previous economic, social, and vocational status. A RTW program can include:

  • Short-term modification of work schedule and/or job duties to accommodate restrictions imposed by the employee’s treating physician
  • Modifications that vary based on the type of injury, the employee’s present physical ability and limitations, skills, and pre-injury responsibilities
  • Progressive return to full duty
