Does workmanscom have to settle with u after a injury

If you are injured on the job in Virginia, most of the time you are eligible for workers' compensation coverage for your medical bills and lost wages. If you recover 100% and return to work with no work restrictions, then this can be the end of your claim and there will be no settlement. On the other hand if due to your injury you have work restrictions that prevent your pre-injury work the WC insurance company has a choice. It can continue to pay you weekly WC payments, find you a light duty job, or reach a settlement with you. The insurance company will only reach a settlement with you if it is in its interest to do so. There is no requirement to reach a settlement. And there is no compensation in a WC case for "pain and suffering" and "loss of quality of life" like there would be in a personal injury case. A settlement can involve many factors.
