Injured at work? Don’t wait - report it to your employer right away.

Failing to report an incident could delay or even jeopardize your workers’ compensation claim.

Repetitive stress conditions can be difficult to evaluate under Virginia workers’ compensation law because gradual injuries are treated differently from a single workplace accident. Some conditions may qualify as occupational diseases, depending on the medical evidence and connection to the job.

You do not have to be incapable of performing every activity to apply for SSDI. Social Security looks at whether a medically documented condition prevents you from performing substantial work and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.

A consultative exam (CE) is a medical evaluation requested by the Social Security Administration when there isn't enough medical evidence to make a decision on your disability claim. The exam is performed by an independent medical provider and the results may play a role in your case.

Attending the exam is important, but so is understanding why it was requested and how it fits into the disability determination process. If you have questions about your Social Security Disability claim, Corey Pollard Law is here to help.

A construction accident may involve more than a workers’ compensation claim. When someone other than the employer is legally responsible, an injured worker may also have a claim against that third party. These cases can involve important coordination between both claims.

Details can be difficult to remember after a workplace accident. Record when and where it happened, who witnessed it, what symptoms you experienced, and when you reported it. Clear documentation can help protect your rights as the claim moves forward.

While bumps and bruises are part of childhood, injuries caused by broken equipment, poor maintenance, or unsafe conditions may have been preventable. If your child was seriously hurt on a playground, understanding what happened and whether negligence played a role is an important first step. Contact our team to discuss your legal options.

A poor medical outcome does not automatically mean malpractice occurred. However, concerns involving diagnosis, treatment, medication, surgery, or follow-up may deserve closer review. Virginia medical malpractice cases generally focus on whether the provider met the applicable standard of care.

After a construction site injury, what you do next can matter just as much as the injury itself.

Prompt medical treatment and proper reporting help create a clear record of what happened and may protect important rights moving forward.

The insurance company valued your workers' comp claim before you made a demand.

Your number isn't landing on a blank slate. The carrier already has an invisible anchor.

Your job isn't to invent a bigger number.

It's to prove the insurer's number is wrong.

Defense attorneys ask injured workers to "send a demand first" several times a month.

Early in my career that annoyed me. Now I see it as an opening.

Having negotiated these claims from the insurance side, here's how anchoring actually works in a Virginia workers' comp case:

Not every negative medical outcome is considered medical malpractice.

These cases often depend on whether the healthcare provider met the accepted standard of care under the circumstances.

Understanding the difference can help patients better evaluate their situation.

Sports-related concussions should always be taken seriously.

Symptoms may not appear immediately, which is why proper medical evaluation is important when a child experiences a head injury during athletic activities.

An FCE can determine whether you go back to work, what restrictions you carry, and how your workers' comp case gets valued. It's one of the most important steps in the process, and one of the least explained. Make sure you have a workers' comp attorney on your side before completing the FCE.
