Update Your Profile
In Virginia, if you have an accident at work, you have to file a claim with the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission within two (2) years of your accident. If you are unsure if a claim was filed, you can contact the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission at 1-877-664-2566. You indicated you were paid a few months of compensation for your concussion. If your eye damage and vision impairment is permanent, then you may be able to file for the permanent loss of your vision if this loss can be rated. This would be the case unless your claim is now barred by the statute of limitations.
