Richmond, Virginia Workers’ Compensation Benefits Lawyer
Certain injuries are serious enough or life-altering enough to necessitate compensation that goes beyond the usual allotted time. Yet simply assuming that workers’ compensation will automatically extend coverage when necessary is unrealistic. You need an advocate who will work on your behalf to make sure that you get permanent total disability compensation when warranted.
The Law Offices of Jerry Lutkenhaus is a workers’ compensation firm dedicated to assisting clients with every aspect of their work comp matter. If you are nearing the end of your coverage time and need assistance in getting permanent compensation, contact my Richmond, Virginia, office today at 804-358-4766 or email us for a free initial consultation.
Serious Work Injuries With Permanent Effects
Some work injuries are so severe that the quality of life is forever changed. A serious brain injury, the loss of two extremities or the loss of use of two extremities all change life forever and should be compensated with work comp benefits that are complete and permanent. Some neck or back injuries are serious enough to result in the lass of use of two extremities. At The Law Offices of Jerry Lutkenhaus, I understand the emotional difficulty of trying to cope with the effects of a permanent injury. I work to help you get the compensation you are entitled to.
Getting Workers’ Compensation Benefits for Now — and for the Future
All injured workers, even those who qualify for permanent total disability compensation, can only apply for it during the last year of their temporary workers’ compensation. Generally, workers’ compensation lasts for up to 500 weeks. I have helped clients obtain permanent total disability compensation during the last year of their workers’ comp benefits. No amount of financial remuneration can ever compensate for a serious injury resulting in a permanent condition, but it certainly can take the financial strain off of your situation and ensure that you will always be financially secure even when you are unable to work.
With over 35 years of experience, attorney Jerry Lutkenhaus can lead you through the processes associated with work comp or Social Security disability.
