Tom Lane knows the law.  The Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission limits your recoverable damages.  Virginia classifies a permanent disability as the loss of two or more limbs, brain damage, loss of eyesight, or paralysis.  With a permanent disability, you are entitled to a lifetime of compensation.  Otherwise, as an injured employee, you are only entitled to 500 weeks of compensation.  Your compensation is further limited to two-thirds of your average weekly wage.  Keep in mind that there are minimum and maximum caps on workers' compensation in Virginia.  Your workers' compensation benefits entitle you to compensation for lost wages, disabilities, and medical expenses.  An attorney can help you see results.
