Hi Sheila! We received your web inquiry about your husband's SSDI termination. We would like to talk with our disability attorneys this morning to get some advice for you. You provided your contact information, so we will be back with you as soon as we have an answer from them.

The Ritchie Law Firm is proud to serve Frederick County, Winchester, Northern Virginia, and all of the surrounding areas for Virginia Workers' Compensation cases. Please contact us! We are happy to help!

After you've been in a car wreck, it can be very difficult to know what to do first, especially if you are trying to recover from serious injuries. Keep these tips in mind in order to protect your claim: 1) Never admit fault. 2) Seek medical attention right away and follow your doctor's orders. 3) Don't sign anything from the any insurance company without talking with a lawyer first. If you need help reviewing any documents from the insurance company or just want to ask a question, give the Ritchie Law Firm a call! We are happy to help!

Our clients ask us this question all the time! It's important to keep in mind that because every case is different, it's difficult to give an exact, accurate number for settlement value. When we determine the amount of compensation we believe our clients deserve, we consider all of the accident-related medical bills they've incurred, as well as the impact their accident has had on their life. But, there are also many other factors that go into our evaluation of a client's case. If you're wondering how much you might be entitled to receive after an auto accident, give us a call and we'll be happy to talk with you about it!

While you're definitely not required to hire a lawyer to handle your car accident claim, we recommend that you at least talk with a lawyer experienced in handling these types of cases before you sign anything or give a recorded statement. Not only will this help make the legal process easier to navigate, but it also increases your chances of receiving the maximum amount of compensation possible. Without legal representation or competent advice, many insurance adjusters will try to pay you as little money as possible for your injuries and property damage. But, we know that not every car accident victim needs a lawyer to settle their cases. Our team of lawyers at the Ritchie Law Firm will review your claim and, if we feel you would be better off handling your case yourself, we will tell you so straight away. We will only recommend that you hire a lawyer if we genuinely believe it's in your best interest to prevent being taken advantage of by the insurance company.

Because every case is different, it is difficult to predict an exact timeline for settlement. However, at the Ritchie Law Firm, we understand how important it is for our clients to get their medical bills and other expenses paid as quickly as possible. That's why we work quickly and efficiently to get the best possible result for your case. Additionally, we will work hard to keep you updated on the status of your case, so you will always know what to expect.

Most likely not. Most car accidents claims that our team of lawyers handle are able to be settled out of court. However, in the case that going to trial becomes necessary for your case, the best thing you can do is have an experienced and tough lawyer to take your case to trial. Our team has battled insurance companies in the courtroom for years. We are not afraid to go to trial and get our clients what they deserve.

In Virginia, sometimes workers' compensation claims are denied due to violations of safety procedures. In such a case, you should contact a lawyer who is experienced in handling Virginia workers' compensation claims to discuss your case. Frequently, the team of workers' compensation lawyers at the Ritchie Law Firm has been able to win workers' compensation benefits for injured workers when the insurance carrier or employer has claimed a violation of a safety procedure.

In Virginia, workers' compensation is a form of insurance that is required for almost every employer. According to the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), employers are required to ensure that their workplace environments are safe for their employees. Employers are required to post safety notices in areas that are easily seen by their employees. Additionally, employers are required to provide information about how to apply for workers' compensation if one of their employees are injured.

If you are injured as a result of a work injury, you are generally not able to sue your employer, except for certain special circumstances. In Virginia, under limited circumstances, employees are able to file a lawsuit against their employer to recover for their injuries. One such example is if an employer has purposely caused the injury in some way. In circumstances such as that, you may be able to file a law suit in civil court against your employer. However, in Virginia, employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance and, if you've been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits.

If you need assistance in understanding your Virginia workers' compensation benefits, or if you were denied workers comp benefits, our Virginia workers' compensation lawyers can help. Our team of lawyers will review the various aspects of your claim with you to determine your legal options and whether you're eligible to receive benefits. We will then help you develop a plan of action designed to get you the compensation you deserve.

Our team of lawyers at the Ritchie Law Firm work on a contingency fee basis. This means we don't require any upfront fees and we don't get paid unless we win for you!

Thank you for your question! Depending on how your short term disability policy is written, injured workers may be able to collect both from workers' compensation and short term disability. Your disability policy is the key to answering this question. We are happy to take a look and discuss this with you.
